About this title

Synopsis

Natural Timber Frame Homes
Building with Wood, Stone,
Clay, and Straw
Wayne J. Bingham and Jerod Pfeffer
Natural Timber Frame Homes is a book about the future of houses-those inspired not by a technology-governed and energy-intensive world, but instead developed organically in response to the places in which we live. Through beautiful photography and informed text, Natural Timber Frame Homes explores the quiet splendor of traditional timber frame homes built with straw bales and plaster or clay-finished walls.
Author was instrumental in developing and building.
The AIA Habitat for Humanity house, and served as chairperson of the AIA Committee on the Environment.
