Snowbound

From the ski slopes of Utah to the frigid tundra of northwestern Russia, Snowbound celebrates contemporary design in cold climates with a focus on sustainability. Tailor-made for architects, designers, snowbirds, and aspiring second-home owners, this tour of twenty dwellings is equal parts escapist photo essay and practical sourcebook, with immersive photography, architectural plans, and location, climate, and building-systems data.

Architectural historian William Morgan documents winter dwellings and trekker cabins from high-profile firms like MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple and rising stars like Scott & Scott. Readers are transported to beautiful, pristine, and, in some cases, remote locations in the snowier regions of the world.

De la partiile de schi din Utah pana la frigida tundra din nord-vestul Rusiei, Snowbound sarbatoreste designul contemporan in clima rece, cu accent pe durabilitate. Facut pe masura pentru arhitecti, designeri, pasari de zapada si aspiranti la proprietarii de case second-hand, acest turneu de douazeci de locuinte este parte esentiala a unui eseu foto escapist si a unei surse practice, cu fotografie captivanta, planuri arhitecturale si date privind locatia, clima si sistemele de constructii. Istoricul arhitectural William Morgan documenteaza locuinte de iarna si cabine de drumetie de la firme de renume precum MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple si stele in crestere precum Scott & Scott.
