The New Western Home

Rustic log ranches with soaring prairie vistas; quiet fishing cabins along the river; mountain hideaways tucked among the trees; historic urban factories renovated into stylish condos--today's Western homes share a spirit while covering a wide range of Western styles in both architecture and design. Author Chase Reynolds Ewald pays tribute to this spirit through fourteen human-scaled structures that exemplify sensitive renovation and preservation of the region's past. This book shows that environmentally responsible and regionally appropriate choices can encompass cutting-edge designs and materials, and that high-end doesn't have to mean overbuilt.--From publisher description.
