Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter

$32.95

Home Work is our sequel to Shelter and illustrates new and even more imaginative ways to put a roof over your head, some of which were inspired by Shelter itself.

What Shelter was to ’60s counterculture, Home Work is to the “green building revolution,” and more. From yurts to caves to tree houses to tents, thatched houses, glass houses, nomadic homes, and riverboats, each handbuilt dwelling finds itself at one with its environment, using natural materials.

Book includes:

Master builder Louie Frazier’s Japanese-style pole house in Northern California, reachable on a 500-foot cable across a river
Ian MacLeod’s handbuilt stone house in South Africa, where baboons jump on the roof at night
