Off-Grid Escapism

Unlike urban dwellings, cabins, these kinds of retreats benefit from lush views and vistas. Therefore, consider your styling as being less of a distraction from urbanity and more of a less-is-more complement to nature.

But that’s not to say retreats are devoid of character… Far from it, with some attention to detail you can craft soulful dwellings that warm the emotions. Each of our faves play with combinations of raw and natural materials to make it feel like nature is extending into the interiors. Check them out and shop the looks.

Residens Hem blends traditional exposed wood and raw materials like brass and stone with a modern blackened kitchen that opens into its living space. Our bespoke Chandelier emphasises its archetypal vaulted ceiling and full length glazing and plays against the open hearth.

No stranger to our blog, The Nordic Barn House is always worth a revisit. Its clever fitted storage and nooks in the hallway are almost imprinted on our psyche, with Buster + Punch Cross hardware in brass giving that warm, welcoming pop. 

Ruin Retreat adds an extra layer of refinement to this off-grid journey. Outside, inside or up close, it’s a breathtaking project with architecture and interior that empathises with the nature surrounding it. Zonal lighting, using Buster + Punch Hooked lights and shades lets the owners sink into the sunsets and transition effortlessly into the evening. 

We’ll be the first to admit that nature’s details can’t be beaten, but with a little Buster + Punch magic you can give it some strong competition.
