Product Description

Review

"In a corner of Clapham that is now forever green, [Will Anderson] has designed and built a ""symbol of the power of ecological design"".


Product Description

Will Anderson's monthly features in "The Independent" have an enthusiastic following; readers are following his progress from finding a plot, getting planning permission and building himself a stunning contemporary eco home, which mirrors the fine-tuned ecology of a tree. Drawing on his columns in "The Independent", Will has created a diary that will be invaluable to anyone contemplating building their own eco house. "The Diary of an Eco Builder" focuses specifically on environmental issues through the story of his attempt to realise an inspiring and challenging vision. Honest, amusing and unexpected, it highlights all the key issues which arise when you build an eco house, records the process of the nitty gritty of self build, and provides contacts and references for more information. The Energy Saving Trust is using Will's house as a case study and will monitor and evaluate the house to learn from the way it performs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't be put off by the title, 19 Aug 2006
By Nick Grant (Hereford UK) - See all my reviews
This is a really lovely book that can be read cover to cover or dipped into when the mood takes you. I'm a self builder, eco-building anorak and know-all, but still found loads of inspiration in these sumptuous pages. The author has a refreshingly rigorous approach to sustainable design combined with, IMHO, a great visual design sense that made me re-think a number of my assumptions.

Issues are explored and uncertainties are aired and I hope there is a follow up that builds on the lessons learned.

Whether you are a weekend DIY dabbler, serious self builder or 'Grand Designs' dreamer, buy this book, it's a bargain and also makes a great present.
