“Jaw dropping” indeed. Absolutely stunning and how wonderful to preserve that architecture. Kudos

[@chevalblanc012]

Grand Designs is one of those programmes you watch when there’s nothing else on, tonight flicking through the channels I hit gold, don’t know how I missed this, the project and the building is awesome, amazing, thrilling… As a designer myself, and a lover of Victorian industrial architecture, I had goose bumps watching the project unfold, and I totally get it! Fantastic job, and you saved a beautiful building! Seems like the new owners love it too ❤️❤️❤️

what an amazing building and restoration

[@josephtdi8764]

Utterly breathtaking levels of work

If you see the episode in full, I'm the designer of those luxurious bath tubs that they had to winch up the lift shaft.

Great job. I love the bath tubs

So according to an article online, they purchased the building for £380k in 2010. They spent £2 million to restore it. The house was originally listed for £3.6 million but they ended up selling for £2.75 million in 2021. A profit of £375k over 11 years is not great but profit is profit. Shame they couldn't keep the home.

any lift?

[@kevinchomyshyn523]

They caught a cold, on this build 🤧

[@wahahabuh]

I really like this build, but I personally don't have the money XD

[@DSherman50]

Living in California I watched this build in full years and years ago. It was amazing to behold. It was sad that the developer put it on the market as soon as the build was complete. It was only always about making money.

HI, not true , I moved out in 2022. Don't believe everything you read on line ;-)

[@arianlucatero7649]

@@leighosborne6973 your an inspiration!! I’m in California and I’m going to restore a 1930s 7up Warehouse and convert it into a hostel. I’m just amazed at what you guys did.

@@leighosborne6973 I hope you enjoyed bath tubs. The large Isis bath is one of my original designs making this episode one of my 'as seen on TV' moments. Congratulations on such a magnificent project.

How is heating this place working out?

[@chrisnewman7281]

These guys overstretched their finances Maxed out their credit cards. noticed it was on the market a few years after the show. That was at least 10 years ago

[@oliverpotts8664]

Most of the people on Grand Designs sell up a few years later, either to pay off the debts from building it, or because their dream home simply isn't practical to actually live in.
