Grand Designs new series.....

[Mwa ^_^]

Beautiful episode and what a lovely family.

Now I reckon that building is an icon for all the green movement stanRAB for. No views of the lanRABcape they chose to live in, spartan, echoing halls of discomfort.
Its all about compromising your standard of living to revel in your smugness at being green.
Its the Grand Designs version of that lady on the news recently who showered with a bucket standing on the floor so that she could use the water to flush her toilet.

At least these two did it with their own house rather than using a client.

I've just watched this and I cried at the sadness of it all. Ninja Kitty - you have summed up how I felt watching it. Abb 40 - I just wanted the architect to give her a hug.

The house is lovely and her architect did a great job. Pleased Ch 4 showed this one.

[JAEloveshim]

she clearly wanted to cry at the end when talking about him although the rest of the time like talking about the tiles was quite matter of fact. Which I'll also be. The son stopping nightmares there, that's because all the memories of his dad has now been erased. As far as he knows he is in a brand new house and his dad isn;t stamped anywhere in there.

The house itself was disgusting on the outside. Hated the roof. Inside I liked it though. Although found the rooms smaller than they looked like the should have been.

Interesting episode. Huge contrast against the usual Kevin fertility effect.

The architect was an absolute star.

Saw a repeat of the Tom Perry Cloud 8 second episode from Series 4 earlier in the week. Anyone know how this turned out?

I also thought this but there was a bedroom in the back corridor I thought. I notice they didn't show much of the children's bedrooms maybe they showed all they could but I blinked?

Hmmm I always wonder what happens after a couple of yeasr, boredom?

It all looks a bit sh*t quite frankly

[Al A]

Yes, the worktop was one of the worst things I have ever seen, even 'changing rooms' would have made a better job

Perhaps it is time for the show to be split, a series of ridiculous 'eco homes' and then a series of the brilliant over the top opulent homes that we used to see.

[Hybrus]

Real admiration for Lucy, so pleased the house works so well for her and her little ones.

[bobbb]

I really liked her, she was so calm and serene but I didn't like the house at all. It just wasn't my 'thing' at all. I thought the chimney was very odd.

I'm not a fan of all the eco houses either! I think Grand Designs has lost the Grand bit in recent series.
