I thought that this was worth sharing even though it is a bit long, he is such an engaging speaker and has so much creativity in both his designs and outlook on life that the talk seemed much shorter than it actually was.
The houses be builds are unique and lovely as well as being produced from 70-80% reclaimed materials, often used in unexpected ways....

Enjoy :-)

If you would like to see more pictures of the houses he has built, check out his website.
