Many of the samples presented in the book allow mentally to move at the beginning of the XIX century, when the flourishing of wooden architecture in North America became a reaction to the massive appearance of machinery produced goods, the same and soulless. The log houses, erected at the time, carry an inspiration imprint presented by nature itself, - they were built to stay for centuries. In collaboration with the photographer Roger Wade in architectural circles, the author of Robbin Obomsavin invites you to the country of wooden houses with unique carved windows and porches, where simple, but never repetitive design reveals the magical charm of natural material. The book contains some new forms and designs, easily combined with traditional construction methods. Rough unprocessed logs form interesting contrasts with other natural and materials created in industrial environments. The eclectic style carries the living heat of the tree and the convenient dwelling structure, which is creating once and for all.
