The Self Build Architect

Welcome to The Self Build Architect, the ultimate guide to all things architecture, design and self build. We will hopefully help you through your DIY, extension or self build projects! 

We're about to take on a self-build project of our own, which we're going to share with you, the ups and the downs, from start to finish.  So it this sounds of interest please hit the subscribe button and follow our progress!

A little about us - We're James and Ruth, we're in the North West of England and are about to embark upon our very first self build / self build conversion of a 18th Century Barn. I (James) am an architect and am passionate about sustainability and design, especially the re-use of materials.  Ruth works in retail, however has a keen eye for interior design, so she will be focusing on the finer interior elements of the project. Exciting things to come hopefully!
