Ben Law
I watched an episode of Grand Designs this afternoon and came across this awesome guy called Ben Law who built a house from natural resources in an Essex woodland. It cost him about £28,000 from memory. To watch it evolve was awesome. I love natural wood and wooden houses, the finished result is just beautiful, inside and out.
It’s amusing that in Australia, to live in a forest area is quite normal – whereas here, they actually don’t allow it. Ben had to gain special permission from the council which wasn’t easy by the sounds of it. The whole house is self suffient also, something more people should be getting into!
I guess it just goes to show you if you have a dream, no matter how wild or difficult others might think it – if you give you can succeed!!
Go have a look at his beautiful home.
