Kevin McCloud follows a couple who face a race against time to realise their dream. Two years ago, corporate accountant Pep was diagnosed with terminal cancer. But rather than rest and avoid stress, Pep and partner Malene focused their attention on a long-held ambition to build a new house on their land in the Surrey Hills. The plan is to construct a modern take on a Viking hall, inspired by their love of all things Scandinavian and Malene's Danish heritage. But they must build quickly so Pep can enjoy what time she has left in the finished home.
