<p><span class="a-text-bold">Today’s cabins are the perfect choice for shelter all year round, making them a delightful choice for hikers, explorers, and urbanites searching for peace of mind, convenience and idyllic settings.</span></p><p><span>They are practical, comfortable, and built to withstand harsh climates in the high mountains or the rugged coast. Some are basic and sparsely fitted shelters; others are unique “glamping” (glamorous camping) retreats with all the comforts of the home or, better yet, with the amenities of a luxury hotel, including a hot tub, sauna, and Wi-Fi.</span></p><p><span>The idea of escaping to remote locations to reconnect with nature has expanded its experiential boundaries. Still, traditional cabins prevail as timeless structures that sensibly integrate into their surroundings.

Such principles were already implanted in vernacular architecture through the consideration of factors including geographical, topographical, climatic, as well as cultural and historic.</span></p> Barcelona, 2022 Monsa 144 p., nombreuses photographies, cartonnage éditeur. 17 x 23
