Rock the Shack takes us to the places we long for. For the first time in the history of humankind, more people live in cities than in the country. Yet, at the same time, more and more city dwellers are yearning for rural farms, mountain cabins, or seaside homes. These kinds of refuges offer modern men and women a promise of what urban centers usually cannot provide: quiet, relaxation, being out of reach, getting back to basics, feeling human again.Rock the Shack is a survey of such contemporary refuges from around the world—from basic to luxury. The book features a compelling range of sparingly to intricately furnished cabins, cottages, second homes, tree houses, transformations, shelters, and cocoons. The look of the included structures from the outside is just as important as the view from inside. What these diverse projects have in common is an exceptional spirit that melds the uniqueness of a geographic location with the individual character of the building’s owner and architect.Features: 240 pages, full color, hardcoverRelease date: February 2013Dimensions: 24 × 30 cm

Sussex is a charming English county that lies south of London and is where I spent three years of my life. I studied illustration and printmaking in Brighton and living by the sea, experiencing life as an art student in this vibrant seaside town, was wonderful.  My illustration of Sussex features many of the historic coastal towns and cities, from Chichester in West Sussex to Rye in the East. Piers and lighthouses jut out into the English Channel all the way along the coast. Inland, there are the breathtakingly beautiful hill ranges of the South Downs and High Weald together with the bleak and wild salt marshes at Romney and Selsey, a haven for bird life.   Sussex is dotted with magnificent castles and palaces, telling stories of victories and wealth from times past. One of our nation's most significant historic events: The Battle of Hastings, changed the course of British history and has therefore made its way into my vision of super Sussex.
