In 1974 Ken Isaacs published a book called How to build your own Living Structures. The book is a guide on how to make unique interiors, storage units, and… a microhouse. Isaacs created and designed this modular shelter which is flexible in a way where you can separate and divide it into tiny sections inside. His book provides step by step instructions with plans for different versions of the micro house.
Recently in Central Glasgow, Lanarkshire, UK a micro house based on Isaacs’ design was featured at the Hotel Gilchrist Exhibition. Check it out.

Back in the 70’s I bought Mr Ken Isaacs book and never did anything with it until recently.
Does anyone have an email address for Mr.Ken Isaacs?
