A new book launching this month from Gestalten, Rock the Shack: The Architecture of Cabins, Cocoons and Hide-Outs, serves up a visual feast of fantastical dwellings in nature. With chapter headings including, “Skies Wide Open,” “Above It All,” and “Down by the Waterline,” this book is perfect for city-dwellers who dream of escaping one day.
