Publications / Complete Catalogue / Roundwood Timber Building
Since building his famous Woodland House from his own woodland, author Ben Law has evolved his own style of natural building now tried and tested on many other builds across England. Ben has built houses, workshops, a classroom, lean-tos, a shop and store to industrial specifications. Whilst this style's origins can be found in traditional forms of building Ben has developed an entirely new vernacular using many new ideas and techniques. Filled with detailed colour photographs and drawings, this unique and practical 'how to' book is unquestionably a benchmark for sustainainable building. It encourages communication between woodsmen, planners, architects and builders and helps to close the loop between environmental conservation, use of renewable local resources and the regeneration and evolution of traditional skills to create durable, ecological and beautiful buildings. "Ben Law shows us all how it might be possible to live a low-carbon, low-resource-intensive way of life and he does it by example, bringing his considerable experience as a woodsman, designer and builder to construction challenges. In this thought-provoking book Ben shows us how we can construct expediently and with the minimum of environmental effect." Kevin McCloud, TV presenter and author. Hardback 172 pages
