Weeks nine was a week for those with a sweet tooth as we had two cake entries into our Design Your Dream Home Competition. Please keep your entries coming as a winner is announced every Monday until the children return to school. You can find more information here
This week, Saskia is the winner with her sponge cake home. Well done Saskia!
She’s chosen to send her £25 donation to Wigan and Leigh Hospice, a charity that is close to her families heart.
Mum, Kirsty, says Saskia (4) loves cake! So her dream house would be one made entirely of homemade sponge cake and buttercream. We are not sure that it is structurally sound as it was definitely leaning quite a lot, but it tasted delicious! We used icing for the windows, door and flowers in the garden and Saskia built the roof out of chocolate biscuits. We think that 3 jelly teddies would like to live in the house too, so we added these in at the end.
Here are some of the other entries we received…
This is 5yo Adam’s entry. If Adam could build his own home, it would be a skyscraper made out of gingerbread Just like the one attached. Adam loves baking and designing houses and he had great fun creating the attached. And even more fun eating it.
“Hayley, Just to let you know the Timber Frame is up and looking fantastic. Your Erection team are first class.“
Email from Solo Self Build Customer, Mr Kwecinski
Have used Solo for the Timber Frames on a couple of new builds. The office staff were very responsive. Frames were delivered and constructed on time and went up very quickly which was impressive. Well organised from start to finish. Would use again for future projects of this type.
Google review from J Lyons
A great firm from start to end. Staff are wonderful. The back office is so good. Ask for something and it pings into your email within minutes. Value for money is the best without question. This is my second Self Build and the third will be with Solo as a partner. Solo are with out doubt the gold standard in the Self Build business. No one is better.
Email from Solo Customer, Mr Chris Edge
“Building a one off house is never an easy task, but you guys made it so much simpler. I'll never build using bricks again and would be delighted to recommend Solo to others.“
Email from Solo Developer Customer, Mr Ellis
With thanks to the team at Solo, we've been able to create a beautiful bespoke home catering for the needs of our growing family. Having purchased a good sized plot with an old bungalow on it, we were guided by Chris and the design team on the best design of dwelling to fit the plot/surrounding area. From start to almost finish, has been under 12 months and a lot of that speed was down to how quickly the Timber Frame was erected. The possibilities are endless when you take the route of designing your own home.
