Many of the children are back at school, so the entries have been slowing down over recent weeks, nonetheless, week 10’s Design Your Dream Home Competition was as good as ever.
This week, 8yo Grace is the winner with her rainbow hospital home. It was her third entry and we’ve loved them all, but we love her determination even more!
She’s chosen to send her £25 donation to the Cornwall Air Ambulance.
Here’s 8yo Graces rainbow hospital house.
Here are some of the other entries we received…
Adam, who is five years old, has designed a ‘Spy and Fight School’ where spies like 007 would learn all their tricks. Adam and his family (mummy, daddy and his baby brother Aaron) would live on the top floor. The second floor would house a gym and a couple of different exercise rooms, while the kitchen would be on the ground floor. There is even a shed in the garden.
6 year old son, Archie has spent a lot of time imagining his dream house and building it out of Lego! His dream house is actually a castle! It has a panther guard that lives in a cave (instead of a guard dog), games room, safe and armour room, and a trap door that leads into a dungeon. The trap door actually has a dual purpose and also catapults him out of bed on a morning! Upstairs it has a kitchen and a cave like bedroom. Other features are CCTV and a crane to knock any unwanted visitors away!
This is Nyasha’s entry. She is 9 years old. She wants to live in a castle and has made this from different coloured sand.
“They (Solo) were fantastic to work with and let us decide how much of the build we wanted to get involved in - They reassured us that they'd hold our hands along the way.“
Quote from HB&R magazine Mr & Mrs Friedman
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.

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.
Google review from A Goodchild
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.
