However, that needn’t be the case as talented architects from all over the world are reimagining the old mountain homes so they can fit better into the modern world.

As if the photographs and plans weren’t enough, the author included texts which explain in detail how modern technologies were utilized in refreshing the homes, how they were made to better utilize their surroundings and how, in some cases, new architectural innovations were introduced in order to combine the modern with the rustic so that the homes provided modern comfort surrounded by pure nature.
