Natural Luxury: Homes Inspired by Nature by Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer

“Wide open vistas of snowcapped mountains provide the most enchanting backdrop for Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer’s decorating style. Together they craft homes that combine the rustic and the refined with contemporary ease.” – Forbes.com As beautifully shown in their first book, Natural Elegance, the cofounders of WRJ Design, Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer, have a singular approach to mountain living. They are renowned for incorporating clean – lined, contemporary design into envelopes of rugged stone and natural wood. Now, in their second book, Natural Luxury, they lift this combination of the bespoke and the wild to new heights. It features 10 of their most recent projects, in such idyllic locales as Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Deer Valley, Utah, and Sun Valley, Idaho, including a rustic log cabin nestled near a stream, a modern compound overlooking the Tetons, and even a sophisticated pied–à–terre in Manhattan. Each project illustrates WRJ’s signature blend of luxury, elegance, and deference to the surrounding environment. With breathtaking photography by acclaimed photographers Roger Davies, Matthew Millman and Eric Piasecki, and an inspiring, informative text written with Architectural Digest contributing editor David Foxley, Natural Luxury is a must-have for design and nature lovers alike.
