Retreat

From deep forests to coastal shores and mountain retreats, Retreat: Inspired Homes and Ways of Living explores 24 unique homes beyond the city limits.

The dream of escaping the urban rush is no longer reserved for travelers and retirees. More professionals are embracing a life with more space, a slower pace, and a deeper connection to nature—without giving up their careers. From a Balinese villa and a ski ranch in the Sonoran Desert to a converted bus named Gloria, Retreat not only showcases extraordinary homes but also reveals how their owners’ lives have transformed.

At its core, this book explores what drives people to make a radical lifestyle shift. Design expert Lucy Glade-Wright, who left city life for a cabin in a coastal town, is the perfect guide.

With homeowner Q&As, Lucy’s styling tips that can be recreated anywhere, and breathtaking photography, Retreatproves that a more balanced, fulfilling life is within reach—no matter what form it takes
