    Design for Life describes a significant stage in the life of Jake Brown, who is a very talented architect at the beginning of his career. Life for Jake changes dramatically when he produces an outstanding design for a building to house the Science Department of the local university. The resulting media attention leads to one of Britain's leading architects, Sir Andrew Zain, inviting Jake to work with him in London. As they work together on a series of major projects, they create beautiful architecture in buildings that are as sustainable as leading-edge technology and science make possible. At the same time Jake's girlfriend, Jane, becomes an assistant manager in the City of London branch of the bank where she works. Together they explore all that London has to offer a young couple, develop their careers and work out the kind of relationship they want.
