About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
The ultimate in tiny homes. Love it.
I often wander past a gypsy caravan on my nocturnal wanderings, it is a fine thing to see the woodsmoke against the twilight and pass by knowing there is someone living the quiet off grid life well away from the urban sprawl. The caravan is not quite as decorative and far more travel worn compared to those on Jim Tolpins web site but it has the same construction and character. Always a pleasure to see it and say hello to the owner.
