Download or read book Inspiring Tiny Homes written by Gill Heriz and published by CICO Books. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gill Heriz presents a collection of some of the most inspiring small homes in the USA and the UK. Gill Heriz presents a collection of some of the most inspiring small homes in the USA and the UK. People have been living in small spaces for centuries, for reasons of practicality, mobility, flexibility, or personal choice. More recently, tiny homes have become the answer for many who need somewhere affordable to live, and who possess the creativity and energy to make something different. A small home can be relatively cheap to build or convert, and gives its owner choices, reflecting the way they want to live and their concern for the impact they have on the environment. Tiny homes can also be stunningly beautiful and imaginative. They ask their owners to be discerning about what belongings they have—what is necessary and what is beautiful. The choices are individual and can be seen as part of a movement away from money and property-slavery to a more simple and connected way of living. Gill Heriz has brought together a collection of some of the most incredible small homes, from houseboats on the water, trailers in the countryside, and micro-apartments in the city, to treehouses in the woods. A traditional Mongolian yurt provides off-grid living for a young couple and their baby. A preacher’s wagon offers a chic, flexible space for its owners. There is a reclusive shack set in woodland, homes made from recycled Scotch whisky barrels, and a village of tiny houses for the homeless, all providing comfortable and sustainable accommodation for their pioneering owners.

Download or read book Rolling Homes written by Lloyd Kahn and published by Shelter Publications. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there's not a nomadic revolution going on these days, there's certainly a nomadic movement. In the last few years, either for reasons of practicality (high costs of rent or mortgages), change in lifestyle, or the search for adventure, people are customizing all sorts of vehicles for travel. If you search for "van" on Instagram, you find scores of accounts such as projectvanlife, with 1.2 million followers, vanlifecamper, 472,000 followers, or fosterhunting, 930,000 followers. This book focuses on DIY vehicles, with most of the 50 or so shown here fitted out for the road by their owners, similar to the way that Shelter's books on building feature hand-built homes. There are vans, sedans, trucks, busses, and trailers with a wide array of designs and styles. A number of the units are 4-wheel drive for off-road travel. The book is not only fun to browse through, but is full of practical information (such as stoves, heaters, battery charging, refrigerators, and water pumps designed for the road) -- for anyone wanting to create their own on-road home. There are dozens of floor plans, all sorts of sleeping arrangements, and some unique "stealth vehicles" -- designed to be under the radar, so that passersbys have no idea that someone is sleeping in a parked vehicle. There is a European mini-van outfited by a young German woman who just graduated from architectural school and took a sabbatical to go surfing. There are a number of camper truck shells, all completely different. There's a converted schoolbus that is used in both cold weather for skiing, and in warm climates (such as Baja California) for surfing. There's a converted horsetrailer furnished with Victorian antiques that is used at Burning Man. There is a tiny Metro geo (3-cylinder sedan) that is ingeniously designed for sleeping, cooking, and eating in the stealth mode. In a way, this is a scrapbook. Most of the articles consist of stories and statistics, as well as photos sent in by Shelter's network (built up over 50 years) of hands-on people. It's not a book that was designed in advance, but rather a random and serendipitous collection from people in different parts of the world, almost all of whom believe in using their own hands to create their own shelters.
