Inspirational and exquisite for both builders and spirit
If you are searching for structures small or large which respect nature and bring a calm but utilitarian beauty to your land, this is the book for you. Historical, creative, unique and peaceful.....these are the words which describe the photographic examples. Included are the plans for several of the smaller arbors, seats, pergolas, and fences. This book offers more than the inspiration to build, but provides the information and the contacts for the builders of those structures photographed in the book. To know these master craftsman are at work in the world offers a helpful connection to your own building, or to hiring any of them to build for you, or maybe to take a trip to see these amazing rustic, timber built pieces. From Central Park in Manhattan to a quaint and private back yard, there is something inside for everyone. My own vacation home, which is filled with rustic twig furniture, and outside has a new "tree house" up on the wooded hill, has been influenced tremenously by this book. Each of the photos in Kylloe's Rustic Garden Architecture reflect all the joy and strength of life itself and offer the satisfaction of building directly from natural sources. Timeless pieces of beauty and serenity await you on each page. If you only place this book on the coffee tablle for guests to enjoy, it will be worth the expense. As for myself, I am now planning to build my own wooden bridge into the woods!
