Excitement is at fever pitch in the Build It office, as the long debate is over and we’ve now (just about) agreed on our six favourite homes of 2018 – ready for you to cast your votes and help us crown the Best Self Build or Renovation Project in this year’s Build It Awards. Each of these schemes tells its own inspiring story – from a charming vernacular home that captures the entrepreneurial spirit of self-build, through to a unique mirror-clad extension that reflects its tree-lined surroundings and has totally transformed the owners’ lifestyle. You can check out the line-up in full on page 61, and head over to www.self-build.co.uk/awards to vote for your winning project today.
