- Each residence is illustrated with stunning color photography that showcases the contemporary architecture, wild landscape, and beautifully designed interior that frames and highlights the natural surroundings
- Engaging narratives takes readers through the design of the house—how the architecture and interiors respond to the context, climate, and client brief; how they forge a deep connection with the natural environment; the environmental considerations of their design and construction—and include quotes from interviews with the architects and designers
- The introduction is by Jim Olson, FAIA, cofounder of Olson Kundig, and designer of featured project Camp House

Wild Comfort: Contemporary Homes in the Wilderness showcases thirty exceptional residences in some of the world’s most breathtaking and unspoiled natural landscapes. Designed by leading architects, the houses range from minimalist cabins to luxury residences, each offering a place of refuge within the vast wilderness. Perched on rocky archipelagos, enshrouded in dense forests, and nestled in sun-scorched deserts, these homes are exposed to the elements. Yet each is sensitively designed to blend with the environment and withstand their unique conditions. Their warm and inviting interiors offer comfort and protection while immersing residents in the surrounding wonders. Wild Comfort celebrates architecture in harmony with nature. By fostering a dialog between the tamed and untamed, between comfort and wilderness, it illuminates how thoughtful design can empower us to engage more deeply with the natural world.
