    Mission Possible

    OK just imagine that you all are the chosen designers of a project to build new homes.

    The mission... to suggest:

    • The location
    • The materials
    • The house design

    You can be as innovative as you like as the developer wants the best eco designs. Keep your ideas coming. There are no wrong suggestions. It's your mission..... if you chose to accept it....

    ..... GOOD LUCK!
