The highly anticipated successor to Rural Retreats (2022) and Countryside Living (2019), showcasing 36 exceptional country houses in idyllic settings around the world. Like the volumes that came before it, Country Retreats builds on a tradition of honouring architectural excellence, regional heritage, and the subtle interplay between place and design. Here, the countryside is not merely a backdrop, it is a living partner in the narrative of each home. From the windswept hills of Hertfordshire to the snow-dusted peaks of Niseko, from the sunlit ranches of Texas to the serene waters of Lake Martin, every project presented here tells its own story. The Junegrass House channels a modern vision of the American heartland; the Georgian Country House Restoration revives the grace of a bygone era; the Aranya Sanya Mountain-View Residence marries contemporary geometry with sweeping natural vistas.
