A yearning for smaller homes...simpler times! Architect and renowned
"cabinologist" Dale Mulfinger rekindles our love of the iconic American
cabin in Back to the Cabin. This latest book picks up where his
best seller, The Cabin, left off, engaging readers with fresh insights
and strategies for designing a contemporary cabin with all the charm of
yesteryear.
Renewing America's long love affair with cabins. From rustic
bungalows to log cabins, the bare-bones getaway house provides families
with a sense of freedom from the everyday and the camaraderie of living
close in shared spaces. In stark contrast to today's hi-tech world,
cabin living is uncomplicated and basic - another reason spurring
interest in these cozy shelters.
A collection of 37 cabins - all different, all appealing. These
cabins recapture an old-world spirit of simple living, when the mudroom
was entry enough for all and burning wood was for more than just
ambiance. Others are more surprising - the "new" cabin that blends
old-time simplicity with modern must-haves, cabins that come packaged as
kits, cabins built from recycled materials, and others that are "just
for fun."
