Ebook: 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.;Post-and-beam rustic chic -- A cycle of enchantment-- New West fishing cabin -- Rustic mountain house -- Homes on the ranch : the Mariposa, Ishawooa Creek Ranch, the EJ -- New prairie home -- 1950s ranch house redux -- Off the western grid -- New western farmhouse -- Reclaimed ranch -- Eco home on the range.
