The homes featured in 100 Country Houses: New Rural Architecture range from traditional to experimental, exemplifying a recent shift from the conventional country vernacular towards ultramodern, forward-thinking and eco-friendly designs. In many cases, less restrictive planning regulations in remote areas allow architects to push boundaries and flex their creative muscles, resulting in architectural creations of astonishing scope and vision.
