the new Western Home Chase Reynolds Ewald Photographs by Audrey Hall 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. The New Western Home proves that environmentally responsible and regionally appropriate choices can encompass cutting-edge designs and materials. Among the homes featured are a "new, but built to look old" cabin compound at the bend in a river, sustainable high country hideaways built completely off the grid, and an art-filled Wyoming ranch. And for the modernist minded, several of these homes show that contemporary, minimal interiors actually facilitate a full engagement with dramatic western landscapes and unique high-altitude light. In a changing and timeless West, The New Western Home honors originality and sensitivity and celebrates dwellings with soul.
