Looking back
Who? Peter and Christine Benjamin.
When? Planning was submitted in August 2004, permission obtained in November 2004, building completed in May 2006.
High point? ‘When the frame went up and we suddenly realised what an enormous amount
of glass there would be; there was an immediate sense of the amazing proportions of the whole house.'
Low point? ‘There was no low point; we enjoyed it all,' say Peter and Christine, although there was a moment of concern when they realised one Friday that they had forgotten to order scaffolding and the timber frame was due to be erected the next Monday. Luckily a local firm saved the day.
