We Bought an Underground Reservoir to Build Our Forever Home

We bought an abandoned underground reservoir and are attempting to turn it into our forever home. In this first video, we share why we bought it, what attracted us to such an unusual project, and why we believe it could become the home we'll spend the rest of our lives in. We're not developers, architects or builders. We're simply a couple taking on one of the most unusual self-build projects in the UK and documenting the journey as it unfolds. From planning permission and hidden costs to cutting into concrete, bringing light underground and designing a home from scratch, we'll be sharing the reality of the project—the breakthroughs, setbacks, surprises and lessons along the way. If you love unusual homes, ambitious builds and extraordinary transformation projects, we'd love to have you along for the journey.
