DESCRIPTION:
stunning natural materials inspired homes the natural materials inspired homes of many creative artists around the world - this is a beautifully photographed book of the talents of many people who use natural materials & forms as their medium to express themselves in their own surroundings - absolutely one of my favorite design books !!. Not the Organic Guide Expected Red Wood With the modern movement in place for organic, natural living, I thought this may touch on the subject, saving the reader from a more simplistic country standard (which the books are chock full of this). I was wrong. This is just another country title. Avoid at all costs.
