Format:Taschenbuch
Wieder ein wunderbares Bilderbuch über die orginellsten kleinen Häuser, Dome, Wohnwägen usw. auf dem Land, Wasser und in der Luft. Genauso super wie die anderen Bücher von LLoyd Kahn (homework usw.). Mir läuft bei den Bildern immer der "Sabber": Will ich auch. Natürlich wären alle diese Häuser in Deutschland mehr oder weniger illegal (aber mensch soll die Hoffnung ja nicht aufgeben, daß die deutsche Bauordnung und -bürokratie irgendwann im Nirvana verschwindet), aber bei den kleinen Häuschen sieht es ja vielleicht keiner so schnell... :-)

Den Schweizern mit ihren hohen Bodenpreisen und engen Platzverhältnissen ist dieses Buch leider nicht zu empfehlen. Man wird sofort depressiv oder will auswandern, weil die Bedingungen, für wenig Geld kleine Häuser selbst zu bauen, bei uns so ungünstig sind. Wer aber seine Träume wieder beleben will, der findet im neusten Buch von Lloyd Kahn wunderbare Geschichten und über 1000 Bilder, die ihn auf die Reise schicken. Die Kreativität des Menschen ist einfach ein Wunder.

Packed Full of Fantastic Photo's. Creativity Meets Functionality!
12. Januar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
After eagerly awaiting the arrival of this book, I was NOT disappointed! It is packed full of beautiful full-color photographs on every page. Quality of the book, text, photographic elements and diversity of tiny homes and simple shelters is superb!
Various types of homes, different locations, building materials and styles mean this will appeal to a large variety of people. From city dwellers to cave (and even tree!) dweller, there is something here for nearly anyone. Whether you are just curious, desire a spare space for some peace and quiet or searching for a full-time alternative way of living...this book is sure to inspire a multitude of ideas.
There is a nice selection of pre-fab/kits and other options as well as significant treatment of recycled materials. Examples of tiny homes range from ultra modern to quaint, primative to luxurious little escapes.
Size, price estimates and materials are all mentioned. This is not a blueprint book nor a dedicated "how to" but rather a complete overview with a plethora of examples that will allow anyone to plan the perfect tiny home of their very own.
Interviews with tiny home owners and designers are both informative and intersting. The writing style is engaging and the visuals beautifully executed.
Well worth the wait!

The glowing reviews for this book can't be real!
2. Februar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this book after reading the earlier reviews. As soon as I saw the low resolution quality of the cover photo, I thought, wait a minute, is this the right book? Then I started looking at the content, and I realized, gee, I've seen this content before. It's pretty old. But almost none of the houses list a date or timeframe. The book mentions a few newer homes and builders, but by and large, I don't feel that this book is really current. At the end, the author says that he wrote this book over the last two years, collecting images off the Web. Maybe that's why there are so many tiny photos in this book, because that's the best resolution he could get.
I wondered why these reviews were so glowing, so I checked their authors. For most of the authors, this book is the only review. Many of the reviews have the same words, and they mention the publisher. How many consumer reviewers mention the book publisher? Come on, something's fishy here.
This book is a hodge podge of sheds, trailers, tree houses, mud houses, mini-vans, etc. Some of them look 10-20 years old, and most are kitschy. Some of the photos have nudity. If you are looking for a compendium of the latest trends in tiny houses, this book is not it. I have been studying and following small housing for several years, and this book was a disappointment.

I was kind of taken aback by some of the comments I received on my review, so I am adding this update.
In the credits on the last page of the book, Lloyd Kahn wrote: "We combed over 5,000 photos to make our selection. Information came from hundred of blogs and websites. ... With this kind of complexity, it was impossible to determine (or remember) credit for every bit of material, and we apologize to anyone not properly credited with helping us out. ... About two years ago I started gathering information on tiny houses. A lot of it came from the web."
After one comment that I was too hard on Mr Kahn and possibly endangering his livelihood, I went to the library. I found 2 earlier books: "Shelter II" (1978) and "Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter" (2004). A small amount of content from 2004 is reused in Tiny Homes, and 20 pages of the new book are from pre-fab manufacturers (such as the cover photo). I guess Mr Kahn has been collecting photos of tiny houses, shacks and twig huts around the world for decades, and that is laudable. Clearly he is passionate about his subject. And if you enjoyed the 2004 book, you will enjoy Tiny Homes as well.
But, I have been studying interior design for 4 years, and I was looking for something more formal and architectural, not so quirky. Also, after closely examining the book, the pages are already tearing out. I probably would not have posted my review in the first place if I hadn't felt that the previous reviews (as well as WSJ and NYTimes) had mislead me. I of course don't know if the Amazon reviews were planted, but after my additional research, I stand by what I wrote in my original review.

Pleasure in a small package
12. Januar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
I have just finished"Tiny Homes Simple Shelter by Lloyd Kahn" Shelter Press.........One can never finish a book like this. I will keep going back to it many times in the future. The photography is wonderful, and the book is put together like a sort of builders fairy tale. Who would not want to try and build a small house from scratch like all the folks did in the book. The builders covered in the book are very interesting people who were not afraid to take a chance to establish their own lifestyle under all kind of circumstances. The small homes in the book are amazing structures, but to get to meet and see the builders and experience the lifestyle they selected makes it even more interesting. Anyone interested in building and design should have this book available at all times.
Every book that Shelter Press puts out is a keeper, a must for every library. Lloyd Kahn has done it again by putting out another exciting book.
