George Clarke S Adventures In Americana

For many the dream of having a bolt hole or a place to escape from their hectic lives can seem unobtainable. Architect George Clarke shows how such big dreams can be achieved in small and affordable places. George delves into the extraordinary world of small builds to meet the highly creative people who are taking tiny, unpromising spaces and creating the most incredible places to live and work and play. There are homes made out of shipping containers, horseboxes, and old buses. Others are building tiny huts or incredible treehouses in the middle of the woods.

George Clarke explores the iconic Americana design movement on a captivating path less travelled around the United States. He travels 650 miles from New Orleans in Louisiana to Bandera, Texas, continues to California, and visits Florida to see how this cultural melting pot is represented in its buildings.
