Summary: Whether you covet a renovated Airstream or a sprawling, modern stucco, desert has become the new beachfront when it comes to prime real estate. Artist iO Tillett Wright captures this specific culture shared all over the world of desert-living, from Texas and California in the United States to Chile, Morocco, and Australia. The detailed overview of the lifestyle is what sets this book apart. Featuring classic, well-known desert homes like Georgia O'Keefe's in Abiquiu, New Mexico alongside more modern homes like The Solar House in Marfa, Texas, Oasis is the definitive guide to a longstanding and still growing trend in home design. With Casey Dunn's stunning photography, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the most interesting builders, creators, and business owners who are pioneering this unique lifestyle. If you live in the desert and are creating your own oasis or if you're simply inspired by the modern yet laid-back style, you'll be able to harness the beauty of the desert wherever you are.
