Walker's definition of a "little house" is engagingly eclectic, including anything from a tiny urban townhouse to a motel cabin to an ice fishing shanty. It's an education in American history as well as architecture and less-is-more economics to read this delightful book (which helpfully comes with photographs and tiny plans and detail drawings). I'm still wondering though, why it took "much research" to identify a quite ordinary school bus shelter! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The charming and innovative architecture of these tiny cottages, studios, fishing huts, homes and more--so small and cute that you can't help but fall for them--will inspire and delight home and architecture lovers and dreamers, too. Each chapter captures the utter eccentricity of these ingeniously designed shelters with irresistible color photographs of the structure and interiors alongside detailed isometric drawings, floor plans, and multiple elevations. A Little House of My Own offers humble dreams of solitude, romance, oasis for meditation and whimsy--all under 325 square feet--as well as technical details of the structure from the building materials and woodworking techniques to estimated cost of construction. In the accompanying text, award-winning architect Lester Walker relates the story of each building, the community or setting where it is located, and the personalities that shaped it. Notably quaint homes from history, including Jefferson's Honeymoon Cottage, Henry Thoreau's Cabin, and George Bernard Shaw's Writing Hut, and features on wacky specialty houses are sure to inspire and delight.
