JAMES PARKER
It is always a pleasure to bring you the fruits of self-builders’ hard work in these pages. They endure the emotional rollercoaster so that we can have the slightly envious pleasure of seeing the amaing spaces and fi nishes they create on their plots!
This issue features a trio of minimalist homes with beautiful clean lines, sited as far apart as Berkshire, Aberdeen, and Cornwall. Different owners with differing priorities, but all looking for amaing spaces that make the most of their surroundings. Our fi nal case study is a transformation of a turn of the century house, equally impressive in its own way.
By contrast, our relatively new addition of a Selfbuilder Diaries regular feature brings you projects which are in that exciting (and yet potentially terrifying for the owners) interim phase of drawings, planning worries and the fi nal build itself. See page for more!
We would love to hear from you if you’d like to take part and provide your own Diary, or alternatively you may have a fi nished build that you’d like to be interviewed about and covered in Selfbuilder & Homemaker (free of charge, of course!.
