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:

  1. Fantastic.

    when i first glanced at the picture, thought it looked like a couple of teapots..

    had a gander at the video

    marvelous

    gotta think Walt Disney should be calling this fellow, asking for advice, as it all looks storybook inside.

  2. I love it. I wonder what the exterior material is – stucco, cement? Can't be cob, it'd melt in that rainy climate. I assume the interior is probably plaster, but I could be wrong. I wanna build one.
