Is your glassy living room making the most of glorious views and are you picking up the sun as it rises and sets around your house? A good Design and Construction team can direct you to where you may want to locate your key rooms, garage, oil tank and patio. This may mean compromising from what you had originally in mind but your site will dictate lots of the distinguishing features of you home including the layout.

Take it a bit father with a tartan kilt which you can team with your black chinky knit jumper, or for something a bit more dressy pick up a tartan pencil skirt – be sure to get the hem to hit your knee or below to keep it fresh.
