In the rush to acquire bigger and better Homes and to pay off increasingly large mortgages, many of us have been left feeling dissatisfied. Why is this do? There is compelling evidence that what we really desire is not bigger Homes, not more space, but better space. Natural Timber Frame Homes lays the philosophical groundwork for how locally available materials result in more durable and Beautiful Homes. It asks us to consider the source of our wood, stone, clay, and straw and suggests that this awareness contributes to our perception of character in a finished House. Building naturallyalso gives us the feedback necessary to be conscientious environmental and economic stewards and allows us to play a meaningful role in the creation of our dwelling.
