Rustic Modern: Western Mountain Homes Architecture & Design Book
Experience 15 of the West's finest rustic modern homes in this beautifully written and photographed book.
This hardcover architecture and design book offers an intimate look into private rustic modern homes across the Mountain West and California. From traditional log cabins to sustainable projects, artist studios to recreational retreats, each property showcases inspired interior decor and striking exteriors captured through professional photography.
What's Inside
As the follow-up to American Rustic (Gibbs Smith, 2015), this volume features detailed perspectives from homeowners, architects, and designers who created these diverse spaces. Each home's story unfolds through full-page photography: rustic textiles warming living spaces, custom-crafted chandeliers suspended from vaulted ceilings, and sweeping mountain vistas visible through every window.
Featured properties span five western states: Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, California, and Colorado. The book documents how modern architectural principles blend with rustic materials and western aesthetics to create functional, beautiful living spaces.

Whether your interest lies in modern architecture, rustic interior decoration, or simply appreciating the homes and lifestyles of the American West, this photography book serves as both inspiration and documentation. The combination of architectural photography and design commentary makes it valuable for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
