Sean and Dianna live in Warwickshire and are both engineers. They plan to build a minimalist, open-plan, upside-down house, with most elements being built off-site and bought together to be assembled. The couple hope their detail-oriented minds will help them to be decisive on-site, but things take an unexpected turn when Dianna accepts a job in Russia and the couple are forced to plan the build over 2000-miles apart.
Will their long-distance relationship survive the strain of self-build, or will the tension turn their relationship - like their house - upside down?
