Host Chris Moller meets a range of creative and enterprising New Zealanders taking on the challenge of building their own unique homes.
The series follows the people determined to make their dream home a reality, as they grapple with extremes of geography, adverse weather, and escalating costs to deliver such diverse and inspirational projects as a medieval castle and a glass home built over a stream.
In episode one, Auckland couple Shane and Tina Nicholls plan to build a house using the ancient Japanese method of burnt timber called Yakisugi.
