In today's fast-paced world, there is a growing desire among many to get back to nature to decompress. Modern Cabins: Return to the Wild illustrates the infinite possibilities in beautiful, creative cabin designs set in idyllic natural locations for a great local vacation. A worldwide selection of projects, from Asia, to Europe, to the United States, illustrates how the challenges of small floor plans and compact interiors can become non-issues with inventive design solutions and technology. Off-grid designs offer options that are low impact on the environment in sometimes unusual structures; and prefabricated models endeavour to produce a light carbon footprint with flexible assembling.
