Build It | Build It October 2013
This month’s issue of Build It is pack full of all the information you need to start planning your new home – whether self building or renovating. If you’re after some design ideas for a new build project, look no further than this month’s diverse selection of real life stories. The Clarks have built a lavish oak frame property, filled with characterful exposed beams and large aspects of glazing. Using similar materials Neil Cotton has built a low-maintenance cottage in the heart of Cornwall. His tale is full of tips and ideas for those interested in creating an eco house. My favourite project this month belongs to the McMillans, who have built a wheelchair accessible home with a Danish influence.
If you’re looking to renovate a property, get some inspiration from Rebecca Sanderson who took a very hands on approach to transforming a rundown 1950s dwelling into a luxury contemporary home. Her ‘have a go’ attitude means she really embraced the project and learnt new skills along the way. For a more focussed look at creating extra space, our hand-picked collection of extensions will guide you through a multitude of design and material options.
