But Maite does not just want to live in it, she is also designing it - without any professional qualifications. Meanwhile, co-presenter Natalie Huq follows the birth of a new street in Glasgow, where the local council have given six families an opportunity to construct their own homes on a small plot - beginning with an American-style ranch. - Vineet & Simmi and Prabhjot & Shalini
E2Episode 2Vineet & Simmi and Prabhjot & ShaliniPrabhjot and Shalini's new-build is a super-quick kit house which should go up in a matter of weeks. But with such a close community, their home will need to take their friends' tastes into account as well as their own. - John and Julia
E3Episode 3John and JuliaKevin McCloud follows John and Julia, who are realising their 30-year dream of building an amazing house designed by architect John after years of bad luck. They have secured a plot at Graven Hill in Oxfordshire and John has designed a modernist wedge of a home for them to retire to. But as soon as they start, their run of bad luck continues - the lockdown brings construction to a halt and every month in their expensive rented house eats away at their budget - in turn threatening their vision for a comfortable retirement. - Leah & Craig and Jitinder
E5Episode 5Leah & Craig and JitinderKevin McCloud follows the progress of Army couple Leah and Craig, whose lives have been dictated by the military. They have designed a contemporary, timber-clad kit house where they can escape from the beige of the barracks. Kevin also meets Jitinder, who works as a consultant helping businesses operate more efficiently - skills he is using in the process of building his own Hollywood Hills-style bachelor pad.
