PORTABLE HOUSES
by Irene Rawlings and Mary Abel
From restored trailers to all-weather tepees, whimsical yurts, converted packing crates, modular ski pods, inflatable one-room huts, renovated train cars, vintage wooden yachts, and even a 747, Portable Houses takes you behind the scenes to meet the designers, architects, builders, and owners who will inspire you to choose the portable life. Paired with 60 color photographs of some of the world’s most ingenious portable structures, Irene Rawlings and Mary Abel illustrate how to make movable homes functional and practical by including tips on acquiring travel tools and gear, problem solving, and converting the dream into highway-legal reality. Portable Houses is sure to inspire the migratory-minded to turn ordinary modes of transportation into creative living spaces and prove that it really is possible for the dedicated, nomadic, do-it-yourselfer to make the road a comfortable home.
