An authoritative guide to updating, remodelling or building a more natural and balanced home, this book is a must for anyone interested in eco-homes. Designing your Natural Home discusses many green building issues, including the use of sustainable energy, natural materials and the importance of choosing the right location.

David Pearson is an architect who is very involved in the Gaia philosophy, an approach inspired by seeing the earth as a living organism. His attitudes are reflected in the book, which often emphasise the need for balance within a home. Style wise, Designing your Natural Home is an extremely visual, indispensable guide and a good source for fresh ideas.
