Cabin, Cottage and Camp

Book excerpt: Seasonal homes offer harried urbanites respite and renewal from the rigors of the city. Given the dramatic backdrop of the Canadian landscape, it's no wonder these places of retreat hold a deep, even mythical, place in the national psyche. This large-format survey showcases some of the best Canadian getaway homes. Featuring the work of major individual architects and important firms, Cabin, Cottage and Camp is both a tribute to the architectural possibilities of the wilderness and an inspiration to those who dream of building their own weekend cottage or cabin.
