Your Home Made Perfect

Thirty four year-old Andy and 32 year-old Esther have lived in their three-bedroom house in Stirling, Scotland for almost four years. With idyllic views of the river and castle the couple love where they live, but with three small children their house is cramped and no longer works for family life.

Andy and Esther know the house needs changing but have no idea what to do. Esther is keen to keep a separate space, but Andy thinks they should open the whole downstairs up. They could extend into the garden, but they are not sure if that's the best solution. The couple are locked in stalemate over how to spend their budget of £55,000, so are handing over control to two competing architects - Laura Jane Clark and Robert Jamison.

Thirty nine year-old James and 40 year-old Vicky have lived in their 1970s detached house in Kent for five years with their two young children.

Bought for the large garden, they have since discovered the house is completely impractical for family life. Like homes across Britain it has been chopped and changed making the space disjointed. The divided layout is taking its toll on family life. James and Vicky agree they need to rethink their home, but that's all they agree on! Working to a healthy budget of £100k, can our two rival architects finally solve the problem that's had James and Vicky locked in stalemate for five years?

In 2015 Becky and Cris moved from a small cottage to a four-bed 1960s house in Wiltshire, hoping it would provide desperately needed space for their growing children. A family of keen musicians, they also hoped a large reception room would give them the opportunity to play their instruments together. But three years later the house is awkward and unhomely with dark and uninviting rooms. A poor layout means the four of them live quite separately, and those dreamed of musical get-togethers never happen.
