Handmade Houses

Handmade Houses arrived at the shop the other day and we're blown away - the imagery and insightful commentary on earth-friendly home design has been overwhelmingly inspirational. We've been obsessed with hand crafted homes for awhile now (please see here, here & here); we love seeing the creative solutions builders come up with and the warmth they imbue with salvaged materials.

This book revisits the roots and history of the handmade-homes phenomenon of the late 1960's, exploring how these homes and their owners paved the way for the architectural-salvage business and the reclaimed, industrial look ever-popular today: an important and relevant volume to be appreciated by anyone interested in environmentally friendly design, craft, and the expression of personal style in the home.

Below is a selection of photographs from Handmade Houses - now available in-store and online.
