DREAM SELF-BUILD

I’ve never really been a follower of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical works, but his tremendous homebuilding exploits have converted me into a firm fan. His turnkey self-build (page 16) is the perfect marriage of dream home and healthy home. Aesthetically striking, the sloping roof and varying sizes and shapes of windows mirror the Notre Dame du Hout chapel in France, and its environmentally friendly structure will hopefully inspire a generation of self-builders to follow the path of building homes that are both smart and efficient.
