Book Design, Art Direction & Publishing
Conceived, written, designed, and independently published by Susanne Cerha, Catskill River Cottage is a visual and editorial exploration of a riverside retreat in the Catskills. The book extends the creative vision behind the property into print, capturing its architecture, interiors, natural surroundings, and the experience of slowing down.
Featuring original photography by Susanne Cerha and Terje Vist, captured entirely on iPhones, the publication brings together storytelling, art direction, typography, editorial design, and production. An extension of the same design philosophy that shaped the cottage itself, the book transforms a physical place into a lasting visual narrative.
