In 2003 Ben Law captivated Great Britain by building his woodland house on Channel 4’s Grand Designs programme – so popular was the show that it was repeated in 2004. The presenter, Kevin McCloud, said that Ben was a born designer and that his was the most watched (over 5 million viewers) and popular programme of the original series. Kevin loved the project so much that he has written the foreword to this book!

Full of stunning colour photographs, this is a visual guide to how Ben built his outstandingly beautiful home in the woods. It is also a practical manual and the story of a man realising a lifetime’s dream to build one of the most sustainable and beautiful homes in Britain.

The book gives details of the evolving design process, identification of materials, costings, project management and the actual building process. It proves that low cost, low impact and high aesthetics can go hand in hand and that it is possible to build green and to build affordably. Designed from the outset as a dual purpose book, it is suitable for both the armchair enthusiast and as an inspirational guide for those wishing to build a similar structure.
As the pre-eminent UK example of building with wood and renewable materials this will also appeal to the growing number of people with environmental and green interests as well as eco-builders.
