Description

This is a lavish portfolio of alternative design and construction based on the principles of minimal environmental impact. Whether you are constructing your dream home or making small-scale renovations, sustainable approaches to building are more important and more achievable than ever, and with ingenuity, determination and a new aesthetic sensibility, seemingly unconventional materials can now be adapted for home-building.

Beautifully captured in full-colour photographs, the houses featured in Sticks, Stones, Mud Homes are constructed from rammed earth, baled straw and mud bricks, from salvaged materials, recycled timber and stone, from tin and other inexpensive contemporary materials that have been designed to conserve energy, create new life form old, and to employ practices that benefit the environment.Both inspirational and practical, this volume will help readers everywhere find natural ways to create their perfect living space.
