‘We have an inherent yearning to retreat. As the world continues to urbanise and our feeling of isolation from nature grows, our desire for a place away from the milieu increases,’ says James Taylor-Foster in Elemental Living (Phaidon Press, £29.95). This beautiful book features homes crafted to be sustainable; secluded hideaways in harmony with their environment. Who wouldn’t want to nestle beside nature in this cabin in the remote North Cascade Mountains of Mazama, Washington?
