First-time builders Sami and Olli-Pekka are building their dream cabin in Padasjoki. The goal is to build a place for relaxation and togetherness, but how do dreams condense into plans and how do builders solve the challenges of building on a steep slope? The tight construction schedule is a tough pressure that reveals new features of the spouse even after years.
2. Luxury in Lempäälä
Beauty entrepreneurs Alina and Markus have taken inspiration from their vacations to design their home, and the goal is the ease and quality of hotel life even at home. But how do you hold on to the dream of luxury when the walls of the temporary apartment are oppressive, the construction project takes the family's time together, and high-quality solutions make the budget explode?
3. Snadi
Tiina and Petri have built a large detached house for their family of three, but over the years their thoughts changed - would everyday life be smoother in a smaller house?
