Living Homes: Sustainable Architecture and Design
Abstract
A lavishly illustrated tour of twenty-two houses built using alternative methods, Living Homes proves that sustainability and high style are not diametrically opposed. Broken down into sections exploring four styles of homes--straw bale, rammed earth, adobe, and recycled materials, each method is explained and illustrated. Beautifully photographed, Living Homes includes urban homes as well homes in such idyllic locations as Crested Butte, Colorado, Tassajara Canyon, California, and the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico. Illustrates an organic sensibility in tune with the weather, the light, and the homes' natural surroundings.
