Living Homes surveys the beauty of sustainable architecture as seen in the private dwellings cropping up all over the West. Authors Suzi Moore McGregor and Nora Burba Trulsson take us to such stunning locations as Crested Butte and the Jemez Mountains to tour these earthen homes. They explore a rammed earth neighborhood, a two-story Victorian straw bale house, and a recycled concrete coastal retreat, among other alternative living spaces.

Meet the architects and owners, read their stories, learn what inspired them, and explore their beautiful gardens and decor. Terrence Moore's striking photographs capture the exquisite interiors and exteriors and showcase the picturesque landscapes that create such stunning backdrops.
