Designer and writer Kevin McCloud guides viewers through the trials and tribulations - physical, financial and emotional - of those aspiring to create a unique place to live, often over many months, even years. The series features a dramatic modernist villa perched atop a crumbling cliff in Snowdonia; a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired bachelor pad made out of four shipping containers in the Northern Irish countryside; and the UK's first amphibious house on a floodplain of the Thames in Buckinghamshire.
