Laura and Ronan Campbell built themselves a house on Ronan’s parents’ laneway. Here they chat about:

• Difficulties with planning permission and why they had to leave a deposit with the local authority for three years.
• How they made a narrow site work with their design vision.
• Choice of steel frame construction and challenges building the house.
• Delays (due to windows and Covid) and how they affected the build.
• Choosing finishes that look the part and saved money.
• How much DIY they did and their top tips for others considering building a laneway house.
• Budget considerations and how they kept a lid on costs.
• Main headaches and what they would do differently.
