I not only would love to own this book, I want to live in this book. Eye candy to the extreme. Or is that house porn? Funky, beautiful, amazing, talented, organic, all of the above

Amazing designs inspired by nature and incorporating natural elements, influenced by the northwest, tribal and Buddhist building esthetics.

Great introduction to natural building on the pacific coast. Mostly pictures and very superficial, but the pictures are great.
