Plot twists

1. Be prepared to adapt the vision of your new home to suit the site – the fantastic view might cry out for your living room to be repositioned or the road access means the driveway and garage can only go in one spot.

2. The contours of the land could be begging for a house shape to flow around them. It is all part of the joy of building your own home; find your perfect spot and the whole design is transformed into a stunning concept.
