Building A Sustainable Home From Scratch, With Al + Imo Roberts
1Description
When furniture makers Al and Imogen Roberts found themselves priced out of Torquay’s real estate market, they decided to buy a block of land and build their sustainable dream home.
Al is a former carpenter and Imo is a designer with a background in digital marketing, and it’s taken them almost three years to create their timber-lined family home from the ground up! They reveal the challenges of this ambitious project, the hidden costs that come with new builds, and why they decided to start from scratch rather than renovate.
See their (almost) finished home in the full story here, and follow them on Instagram at @al_and_imo or @the_good_day_house for more updates.
