Description
A photographic study of more than twenty houses and the mountain landscapes, from alpine forests to urban peaks, that embrace them. Spanning continents and climates, the twenty homes presented in interior designer Nina Freudenberger’s latest book challenge and expand the idea of what a mountain house might be. Artist retreats in Morocco’s High Atlas and the snowy folds of the Engadine Valley in Switzerland speak to the long tradition of mountains spaces for contemplation and creation, while modernist masterworks in Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro expand the traditional image of log cabins and rustic chalets. Depicted in over 200 images, these houses include brutalist lodges, clapboard cottages, and minimalist prisms set down among some of the world’s most dramatic landscapes. In their spectacular diversity, they express the radical ingenuity and stunning creativity that the mountains have always inspired. Read more

Mountain Living Perfected
If you’re into architecture, design, or just daydreaming about the perfect escape, Mountain House is a coffee table book that delivers. Published by Gestalten, it’s a beautifully curated collection of stunning homes tucked away in some of the world’s most breathtaking mountain landscapes. What I love most is how it balances inspiration with escapism. You get a look at everything from ultra-modern glass retreats to cozy, rustic cabins that feel straight out of a film. The photography is top-tier, the layouts are clean, and it’s one of those books you can flip through for five minutes or lose yourself in for an hour. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t just sit on your coffee table, it sparks conversation. Perfect for anyone who appreciates thoughtful design, travel, or that quiet luxury of being surrounded by nature.
