A book to return to again and again,
By Sue Hirst (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Builders Of the Pacific Coast (Paperback)
This is a beautiful book full of pictures. There is some writing but it's the pictures that really make this book! The many photographs showcase some of the incredible organic buildings that you find along the North American west coast. Many of the homes are on the tiny islands just off the coast of Canada.Built from driftwood, cedar, recycled materials and imagination these are homes to dream about. The neat thing is these dwellings are mostly not the huge fancy houses(though a few are featured) but are small homes built by people who love to build and who are not interested in raking in big bucks. For many of these builders their chief love in life is...surfing! Kahn writes in an intimate chatty style that makes you feel you might have met the builders whose work he showcases, probably on a beach somewhere. And his interest in all things quirky and unusual mean that this reads like a book written by a favourite eccentic uncle... one who takes stunning photos. This is a book to dip into and out of and then lie on a beach in the sun and daydream about - everyone I have shown it to scuttled off into a corner and pored over it for at least half an hour before reluctantly handing it back and vowing to go out and buy it.

Fantastic book , great photography and some interesting history of the builders themselves.WARNING !!! If you buy this book and read it , you will be unhappy with your plain old house from now on and want to build one of the funky type dwellings in the book. I am already in the process.
