I got this book to read over the Christmas break after reading 'Builders of the Pacific Coast'. I loved this book even more (although I do heartily recommend the former too)! Some reviewers seem to have missed the point. This is NOT a 'how to build your own house' book. It's a collection of lots of pictures & some details of unusual, quirky, thinking outside the box homes & structures which all have their small size in common. Many of the buildings featured do have blogs, websites or other information included for those who would like to learn more about, say cob building, straw bales etc & there is a directory in the back. Actually many of these buildings are site specific & use what was available to the builder -that's the point. What this book IS, is an opportunity to see pictures of inspiring buildings which you otherwise might never have a chance to see, an encouragement to have a go at creating something yourself & a starting point on how you might achieve that. Thank goodness for people like Lloyd Khan & all the people included in his books. I will look at this book again & again & I will look at potential, recyclable, building materials I might come across in a new light.

This book is an interior designers nightmare - and it is an individualists dream.The architecture of conformity built to house the masses since, I guess, the industrial revolution, has been tried and rejected by most of the people featured in this book. Within moments of flicking through it I realized that all the Interior designs TV shows I have seen have stripped away the identity of the person intending to live the in the home featured, it often seems that the goal of 'contemporary design' is to conceal a life, leaving a sterile enviroment with the threads of an  individual life removed.These incredible 'Tiny homes' have their makers' mark's all over them. They are small spaces with full lives lived within each of them, all there to see. They have dropped out, and stepped back from the mortgages, the banks, and the debts and, often, the grid, and the expectations and limits of convention and formed a home to call their own, with their own hands. Boats, treehouses, cabins, vans, cob houses all feature ...something to gladden the hearts of those of us that want to live more by using less, and have to get creative along the way (because society has failed to do so to date).The imaginations of these makers are amazing. A great, very inspiring book :)

although i am the last person to be able to build a house of my own, alas, however small, this book is full of beautiful amazing abodes others more skilled have managed to create and which inspire me to somehow, somewhen, get someone to help me build a similar place in much colder, wetter old England (there are very few from this country featured in it as the author is american) either as a main low-carbon abode or as a studio, preferably completely off the grid and self-sufficient. I wish someone would produce a similar book - at reasonable price (Tony Wrench's on his particular style of build is now over-the-top expensive second hand) - about not only similar builds here but also places you might be able to 'buy' them at reasonable price off the peg, as seems to be possible in America. Highly recommended
