A young man in Wales built this house for his family using a chainsaw, a hammer and a 1″ chisel.  In some ways I am more drawn to this one than the modular one….even though it makes for rustic living. He needed no team of architects, engineers, and modular specialists. It has no green certification, but certainly far greener, except for its location in the countryside. The modular house is more suited for modern urban lifestyles.

Here is the builder, Simon Dale’s website for more pictures and information about the project.

Thank you to my British correspondent, Amanda Soskin, for sharing this gem.

Lloyd Kahn has published several books about similar creative, owner built structures. Here  is a glimpse of a recent Lloyd Kahn book that I have enjoyed very much.
