Hi,
I have just completed a structure that has greatly been inspired by the books you produce. I am a 26-year-old carpenter/designer from the UK and work using traditional techniques and local sustainable materials.
I just thought I would share my creation with you, the Peach House was commissioned by a member of the Royal family and I was given free rein with the design and build, which was a very rare but amazing experience.
I could not have achieved a structure that I am proud of without Shelter 1 and 2, and Builders of the Pacific Coast. They gave me the confidence to experiment, not be tied by conformity and to think.
Thank you.
–Jonny Briggs
More of my designs and creations can be seen on my website www.jonnybriggsjoinery.co.uk.

In 1973 we published Shelter, which turned out to be station central for people interested in creating their own homes. Now, in the 21st century, we continue this dialog here online on shelter, carpentry, homesteading, gardening, and the home arts with this blog. We hope you will join us and contribute.
