Simple paradises built by yourself. When adults construct garden sheds, huts, and tree houses, experimenting with materials, tools, structures, and shapes, they reclaim a piece of freedom. The first part of the book describes how to create simple buildings—from a makeshift shelter that can be erected in a few hours with an axe and materials found in the woods, to an open log cabin. Traditional dwellings such as wigwams, tipis, and hogans are also presented, with step-by-step instructions for their construction. The second part showcases the diverse architectural and design possibilities when self-building sheds and huts. Sheds and huts are uniquely connected to nature, and it’s a natural thought to utilize sunlight, wind, rainwater, and other proven natural elements.
