| Summary |
"Mimi d'Costa and her husband Andre have moved to the Kent countryside to bring up their two young sons, Sean and Ty. Mimi and Andre have bought a large plot of land and want to build a home on it that is functional enough to serve their young family but that will also blend beautifully into the landscape. They settle on a simple modular home using state of the art materials and technologies. Every element of this house is being constructed off site by many different contractors. The shell of the house is made of engineered timber panels from Germany, and the very high-tech glass that acts as radiators is from Belgium. In order to save money, Mimi decides to project manage the build herself, despite never having done it before. She naively thinks the entire project will take her just four months, but not all the elements slot together as neatly as she had hoped. Six months later there's still no staircase, no electricity and Mimi's coming to the end of her budget."-- website |
