Description: "This book contains a selection of houses that have been built in mountainous regions, natural environments which can be subject to drastic climatic conditions that can, in turn, have serious consequences on the lifestyle of the inhabitants. As a result, all the projects incorporate constructional features and systems which serve to combat the extremes of the different climates, while allowing the owners to enjoy the beautiful landscape around them."--BOOK JACKET.
