Will this be one of the most desirable houses in Britain?
Luna Developments is the brainchild of Bucks-based builder Lewis Foster - who hails from the end of the line in Aylesbury - and his business partner Colin Agar-Rea, a well known former nightclub controller who used to run the now closed Limelight on Shaftesbury Avenue.
The pair first met when Lewis, 34, was extending Colin’s home - which he shares with his wife Lisa - in 2015 and the couple were impressed with the work.

Set on the edge of the Chiltern Hills within easy reach of London, Beaconsfield has attracted politicians, footballers and celebrities as a place to live for decades.
The picturesque location is always there or thereabouts when it comes to the Sunday Times’ 100 best places to live list and its reputation also means residents pay on average around £500,000 more to live there than elsewhere in the county.
Indeed the average house price on Burkes Road - where what the pair are calling Luna 1 will be situated - ranges between £1.5m and £3m.
