home is not a house.
How to design my own house
It made me 
"Encompasses so much - a challenge and great learning."
How I did it: Ended up working with 2 architects to complete the final draft. Everyting is connected to everything in a house and for it to become a home it also connects to the people living in it.
On with the construction, financial and practical planning...
Lessons & tips: Start with what you have experienced and seen that you like and know that works. Defining needs (now and in years to come) is also vital
Resources: Architects, books on organic building, looking at old and new houses, shapes and materials. Internet searches on everything from terminology to types og stones.

It’s going to be a long time before I could even afford it, but I save every Dwell magazine I get for reference. I also have a folder of images I’ve found online saved to my laptop.

I keep a folder of pictures I’ve saved whilst trawling the internet. Cute pieces of furniture, photos from people’s house tours and all sorts of things. I’m going through the images (nearly 500) and deleting all the ones that no longer hold meaning and delight for me. Then I plan to print them all out and do a little sticking and pasting in “MY DREAM HOME” binder.
