Retreat: Inspired Homes and Ways of Living | Lucy Glade-Wright Retreat Book

From the bush to the beach and mountain ranges in between, Retreat: Inspired Homes and Ways of Living showcases 24 unique homes far from the city limits. No longer reserved for travellers and retirees, the great escape is a dream realised by many busy professionals who crave more space and a slower pace while maintaining their careers. Aside from the uniqueness of the homes, including a Balinese villa, a ski ranch in the Sonoran Desert and a converted bus called Gloria, Retreat also delves into how the owners’ lifestyles have changed.

What compels someone to pursue a tree-change is at the heart of this book and design expert Lucy Glade-Wright, who swapped her city life for a cabin in an idyllic Victorian coastal town, is the perfect guide. Featuring Q&As with the homeowners, Lucy’s inspirational styling ideas that can be replicated at home, and stunning photography, Retreat proves greener pastures take various forms and that creating a happier balance might be closer than you think.
