1963年，建筑师彼得·阿尔丁顿和他的妻子玛格丽特在白金汉郡的Haddenham找到了一小块土地。
几年前，在附近的阿斯凯特·格林完成了一个小房子后，这位年轻的建筑师热衷于发展一种当代乡村建筑，它欠柯布西安的理想，因为它是充满了花园、乡土气息和历史演变感觉的田园风光。
“阿尔丁顿”设计保留成熟的树木，包括花园墙、庭院和围栏的当地传统，打算在现场建造自己的房子。
这一新的专论描绘了在规划令人吃惊的复杂性（房屋“建筑”与60年代的“重新引导道路和新的交通方案”的狂热一致）之后，建立转向端和相邻房屋的历史。
通过备受赞誉的建筑摄影师理查德·布莱恩特(RichardBryant)拍摄的当代图像以及阿尔丁顿的解释性字幕，这是一个非常个人的旅程，从一开始直到完成及其后，这是一个非常个人的旅程。
