Nicholas Fisher and Jo Jordan’s self-build project – Belle Grove Farm in Suffolk – sits on the site of the farmhouse that Nicholas inherited several years prior. But that’s about as conventional as this story gets, for Nicholas and Jo based their new home on a sketch of a never-to-be-built Russian home they’d seen in a magazine years before, and built the house off a model produced by an architectural modeller.

The oak frame was hand-built by Nicholas and the remarkable interiors feature materials reclaimed from local and exotic sources. It really is the ultimate self-build project.
