5.0 out of 5 stars Full of ideas to power your imagination, 23 Oct 2007

By	Martin Doyle (Solihull, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter (Paperback)

This is a luxurious book that will keep drawing you back to it time and time again. Filled with photos and illustrations along with fascinating stories, it details the background to several 'shelters' across the world ranging from driftwood shacks to really large structures. The key thing is that each one was built by hand as a home to be lived in.

As a book for design inspiration it is without equal (although the original 'Shelter' by the same author comes close!

There is a rustic feel about the whole book - it's almost like you are reading through someone's personal scrapbook, which in a way you are.

If you are interested in building, whether it's a shed in the garden or something much bigger, don't delay - get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will make you want to build a house, 6 Jan 2010

By	James Barton (Wales) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter (Paperback)

I got this book as a present for a friend they texted me every few pages as they were so excited by the ideas. Flicking through this book convinced me I need to build something the only problem was I was spoilt for choice of ideas of what and how to make it.
