But it was always cheaper to build than to buy, and by building myself, I could design what I wanted and use materials I wanted to live with. I set off to learn the art of building in 1960. Framing -- delineating space.

About this product

Product Information

There's a grassroots movement in tiny homes these days. The real estate collapse, the economic downturn, burning out on 12-hour workdays - many people are rethinking their ideas about shelter - seeking an alternative to high rents, or a lifelong mortgage debt to a bank on an overpriced home. Homes on land, homes on wheels, homes on the road, homes on water, even homes in the trees. There are also studios, saunas, garden sheds, and greenhouses. There are 1,300 photos, showing a rich variety of small homemade shelters, and there are stories (and thoughts and inspirations) of the owner-builders who are on the forefront of this new trend in downsizing and self-sufficiency. You can buy a ready-made tiny home, build your own, get a kit or pre-fab, or live in a bus, houseboat, or other movable shelter. Some cities have special ordinances for building in-law or granny flats in the back yard. There are innovative solutions in cities, such as the capsules in Tokyo. If you're thinking of scaling back, you'll find plenty of inspiration shown by builders, designers, architects, dreamers, artists, road gypsies, and water dwellers who've achieved a measure of freedom and independence by taking shelter into their own hands.

Fascinating stories of unique lifestyles
This book is a great read even if you don't ever plan to live in a tiny house! Lots of photos of one of a kind dwellings, and profiles of the people who live in them. This book supports the idea that most of us live with way too much stuff, and life might be more enjoyable and fulfilling with the flexibility and freedom that "living tiny" can bring. This book is very interesting, thought-provoking, and just plain fun!

This is a great book for someone who is interested in building or designing a small home.There is not how-to information but more lots of interior and exterior and details of many great inspiring simple small homes. Highly recommended, as are the author's other books.
