If you’re anything like me, then you’ll adore admiring other peoples homes, especially on programs like Grand Designs or Amazing Spaces.  I love to see a project develop over time, from beginning to end, inside and out.

Here we often spend time dreaming about what kind of house we would build if we ever had the opportunity to start from scratch.  (Believe me, it was a thought not far from our mind when we were searching for a house to buy and couldn’t find anything with a garden bigger than a postage stamp).  What a joy it must be to see your own house emerge from the raw materials and turn gradually into a home.

Recently we have been looking into house design and discussing the idea of living in a house where everything has been thought trough in great detail.  A house that brings in the light, is warm without costing the earth and is designed to make the spaces fit the way we live life.  The sunlighthouse designed by Hein-Troy Architekten, showcased on the VELUX® website fits all these requirements and is stunning to look at.  The light bright images are so inspiring, especially the angular and modern design nestled into the lush green grass.  I can’t help but think a house like this would look so striking here, the sharp outline of the building overlooking the undulating hills.  It’s definitely given us something to think about.

What kind of house would you design if you could start from scratch?
