A Home Called Outside tells the true story of two people who spent nearly two years living almost entirely outdoors in a tiny trailer tucked behind a nursery, creating a life shaped by nature, ritual, and simplicity. What began as an unconventional way of living became a profound reimagining of home itself.
Through lush photography and intimate storytelling, the book captures candlelit nights beneath the trees, outdoor baths at sunrise, moonlit gardens, coyotes in the ravine, and the quiet rituals that transformed everyday life into something slower, wilder, and deeply alive. Blending memoir, atmosphere, gardening, and design, A Home Called Outside invites readers into a world where home is not defined by walls or possessions, but by connection—to the land, to one another, and to the rhythms of the natural world.
