The family ended up with one bedroom, a bathroom, an undefined space, and the startling contrast of the great room area. They spent all their money and then some. The new living space is spectacular, but the house as a whole still doesn't really flow in terms of daily life. How much did it cost to reconfigure the old part to get two bedrooms, let alone an en suite?

[@timward3116]

Maybe it's because I'm just an old-fashioned guy in a foreign country, but I fail to see the beauty in things that look like space ships or brown mushrooms hanging from library ceilings or house extensions that look totally different from the houses they're connected to. I know such things may be all the rage in Britain nowadays, but I LOVE the look of Britain's older neighborhoods, with their stately dignity and well-balanced brick homes. I do think he could have accomplished the homeowners' desired effect in the back of the house though by simply using the same roofing material as the rest of the house and reconfiguring the roof lines to blend in to the existing structure.

[@AsiminaKouloukouri]

Exactly my thouhts

[@laurawgarts]

I feel the same way.

[@CrochetTutorialsGirl]

Agreed

[@LuizHenriqueMiranda]

He could, but where's the fun in doing the same thing everyone does, over and over? While I can agree it's not to everyone's taste, it's also what makes it unique. Something that's theirs and only theirs.

[@michellewitt2071]

I agree. I like how it looks from the inside, but from the outside, the roof looks like a hat that doesn’t match the rest of the ensemble. And not in an aesthetically-pleasing “mixing patterns” way-in a clashing way. I’m glad they love it and there are plenty comments here where others seem to love it as well. That’s great. Just not to my taste.

[@BryanB0308]

As an architect myself, how does all the roof water drain away from that valley between the old and the new? Seems like a leak waiting to happen.

[@SuzanneBaruch]

Go to 39:14. At the place where the old and new structures join, the domed roof overhangs a short wall. Water drains off of the roof into a pitched gutter. As long as that gutter is kept clear, it should be fine. The problem is there are lots of trees around the house and unless they install some sort of gutter guard, it will be an issue.

[@TheLadyk53]

I also wonder what it sounds like when the rain is pouring down?

[@donaldbotsai5799]

@@TheLadyk53 the spice between the inner and outer roof is stuffed with insulation, although some sound will I'm sure transmit. in hawaii where metal roofs are not uncommon some people love that, some hate it.

[@joannacieslewicz1497]

and it doesn't seem the roof has been isolated... so it is going to be cold in winter and hot in summer there...

[@RadCenter]

This episode was filmed in 2016, and the house was put on the market for £500,000 in 2019. My guess is the owners got in over their heads financially.

[@lauralake7430]

That is really sad news

[@caracampbell1715]

Or maybe they just didn’t like it!

[@coachinguniversitario-exit140]

Most likely they didn’t love this weird house with two different styles in one to live… plus they move to an old 😢kitchen-now bedroom with out sunlight which they hate it!! 😅

[@SKinSKorea]

Could be that with the architect's death in 2018, it was too lucrative to sell it than stay. Not sure how the UK works, but if it was taxxed on property value, and suddently the value went up, maybe they just wanted to cash out. Curious how much other homes in the area sold for?

[@Charlotte-bn4gp]

If the couple were not DIYers, the remaining reconfiguration could have been overwhelming and expensive. And on the other side of the coin, they saw an opportunity to double their initial investment which led them to a wonderful home, turn key and lived happily ever after! I'd like to think the latter. Beautiful space❤ Sad to hear of the architecture's passing but to know such a grand designer put his heart into this bungalow is so special. Wish the family all the blessings of a happy life.

[@karencoetzer179]

I would really like to see an episode where the project stays on budget

[@zh6636]

never happens 😂😂😂😂

[@gosteampunkdotcom]

The only thing I would change is having the roof black or deep red or green. Absolutely love the shape and windows.

[@Charlotte-bn4gp]

Me too!!!!❣️

[@utjp7077]

It's looks great ... but it came in at almost twice the budget .... and it didn't satisfy one of the owner's initial objectives of maintaining 3 bedrooms... it being only "phase one". I'm curious as to what happened to the old kitchen also .... is it still there.? Was this the best value for the money they spent? I believe the architect should have been more sensitive to the owner's needs .... instead of trying to make a "statement", but he doesn't have to live there.

[@vickymel2886]

I think for him, it's about creating "art". Since he is so well-known, he creates what he creates and then leave the rest to the clients. He made some faces and comments about "clients". I really hope the family is doing okay financially.

[@AshlieJermaine]

I agree, 100% While they can now say that part of their home was designed by famous architect Will Alsop (which is really cool on its own), on the other hand, their budget was completely blown, and their original wants or needs were essentially ignored. “Phase one” explicitly states that more money will have to be spent to complete the project. Don’t get me wrong, it turned out beautifully (admittedly, I was a bit skeptical about it at first), but….is it really in line with what they were originally wanting??

[@amfla3787]

Yeah, they were wishy-washy on their budget from the beginning and had nothing against going over 50K

[@annberlin5811]

Architect is amazing

[@AutumnForest862]

I think they do have three "bedrooms" though, with the old living room, the old kitchen, and the front bedroom. Phase two would be just reconfiguring the existing rooms to better utilize the space. The rooms would function fine as bedrooms without it, though. I don't really like the portholes, myself.

[@DarthFurball]

Beautiful extension...but the roof took up 76% of the couple's modest budget. This show proves again the architects are building to their whims rather than taking the owner's actual needs into account.

[@AFAskygoddess]

This family had a very limited budget to make their home more light and user friendly. The architect flipped them a giant middle finger and built a monument to HIS ego, with little concern about the family finances. Despicable man.

[@galinageorgieva8554]

They sold the house for a lot more, because it was designed by a big architect, though

[@WomensTop20]

100%! Then he insulted the wife at the end!

[@menovos9926]

Agreed.

[@tlvance3973]

​@@galinageorgieva8554is that true, or a guess? What a shame to do all the suffering through the build with dreams of a future, only to see it torn from your hands to bless strangers while you're left struggling to find a boring needy shelter again. Sad if they had to sell! Loosing the pretty garden and tranquil village

[@PreferredMethods]

@@tlvance3973 You missed the point, though. They certainly won’t be struggling to afford another village bungalow, more fitted for their actual needs, because somebody well off with grown children will snap this up. Yeah, the architect was a walking cliche of his type, and they went through too much, but they at least will be able to get out of debt. Bet they’d never do it again, though.

[@binni3674]

First the budget was almost doubled by the architect and then you don't even know if complete house was rebuild or just the extension in that money. Because they never showed the bedrooms. Special the master bedroom that she wanted with en suite. So I'm guessing the architect not only doubled thr budget but also spend it all only on the extension n just cared about his design n not on the requirements of the owners.

[@neha040]

and dont forget , the architect's fees was not included in those 90k.

[@tlvance3973]

The bit about the architect fees was to realize it would cost more than 90k if someone hired him, but in THIS case his services were free to them. I think it's a shame that he wasn't able to fairly estimate the true costs of the build. I suspect the problem was there wasn't a crew familiar with this type of build and that is what led to the escalated costs. The crews paid by the hour often lollygag to milk more money, and just being uncertain, making mistakes. The commercial construction crews in the big cities that the architect usually deals with probably weren't willing to go far out of their way for cheap, and the locals probably said oh sure I can do aluminum. We do that all the time. But the curves and portholes, etc it's ALL very specialized. The laminate beams specially made. Equipment to lift had to be transported to the site, again far from the norm. Little towns don't usually have that kind of equipment at hand. I'm certain that Will didn't intend for that to happen! He's just not in touch with the big city vs tiny town. They may have been partly to blame, for all we know, they may have said to use locals rather than the high priced crew. Often clients THINK they'll save money, but getting it done faster and correctly often saves money even at a higher hourly rate.

[@marielucier7982]

They seem to still need a light source in the older parts of the house. And I’m concerned about water eventually creeping in where the two roofs come together at a low point. The huge new open addition with the high ceiling is good.

[@Ivyana5]

I wonder how cold that new extension gets at night...

[@noone_inparticular]

This architect ... at first I thought he was going to be too eccentric for my taste (and I still think he is, I believe he held back... a lot) but... I LOVE this. I was on pins and needles most of the episode but it's truly stunning and unique.

[@beatamichalska6220]

Me too. Unexpectly.

[@cindymichaud7111]

I'm not sold on shiny aluminum. But, my mind kept coming back to drainage between the meeting of the roof lines. Where will the water drain, from where, to where? There are freezing temperatures and trapped water expands when it freezes. I'm certain the architect planned for it, I just wonder how that was handled. Btw, best dog goes to the family Schnauzer, fine looking animal. 🙏👑✝

[@claireh.7605]

Absolutely! Metal roofs and aren’t perfect and leak too! Good luck getting a roofer to climb on the slippery aluminum! All these Frank Loyd type houses are a nightmare to fix and maintain later on.

[@craftydiysph]

If you look closely, there is drainage surrounding the new roof.

[@johannas.l.brushane2518]

It's probably leveled to have a drainage with drop so water runs away. If it would be in an area with regular winters with heavy snow one could have a warming cable along it (similar as we attatch in the insulation to waterpipes here in Sweden)

[@FrostyInfern0]

It could have been more subtle.

[@vivalaleta]

This is my favorite show in the series. Such solid people willing just enough to have their minds blown. My only question would be is how do the gutters work on a curved roof where one curved side ends in the middle.

[@kimbernard9250]

That can be overcome, but it is, long term, a concern should there be a failure of the seal where the old and new roof lines come together. It is never a good idea to have the valley of two roof lines join like that. The failure and interior leaks are inevitable, especially since they joined two very different types of materials which will expand and contract at different rates. Honestly, that architect is all about visual impact and nothing about longevity or practicality.

[@vivalaleta]

@@kimbernard9250 Thanks for the information.

[@billrobbins5874]

Was wondering that too. Heavy snow? Looks very modern.

[@SeaTurtle515]

They could have achieved a light, bright and airy great room off the back and stayed well within budget and not veered quite so far from original architecture; and possibly had enough money to finish the bedrooms and bathrooms. Bulk of money spent in an impractical way.

[@Vane22april]

Omg, I exchanged a lot of emails with Will Alsop when I was studying architecture at University. I did a research about his project "The Public"! He was so kind and gave me and my group mates a lot of materials!

[@tlvance3973]

Do you think it's a design that could be applied to the Yucatan peninsula?

[@melaniehellum1281]

Looks really nice. Yes it's modern and bold but it has a abstract old world sassy twist with the beams. Like the wood heater . It's presence adds warmth and plants could thrive

[@ceciliarichter2458]

Sorry, but how is the energy-effectiveness working in that extension? The floor must be quite cold in the chilly months, not?

[@winterfawn2341]

Absolutely stunning! I also love how the light through the skylights create unique art across the living space. Absolutely outside of the box and inspirational!!!

[@eartecathy7378]

To stay within the 50,000 pound limit the solution was to call the large light back room "phase one." That means he must make that part only a portion of the full cost. The other requirement was to keep three bedrooms. Phase one wipes out two bedrooms and all the funds. New airy room, only one bedroom left. So two fails, one success. Should I continue to watch? I think not.

[@rosemarythyme6351]

My mom taught me that if I can't say something nice to not say anything at all. 😐

[@LAVirgo67]

This was absolutely grand in every imaginable way. And what an architect Will is. Also, I didn´t see any hanging lamps in the extension, looks like Stewart listened 🙂

[@swaters5127]

The house does not fit into the neighborhood. That's an important consideration in design.

[@galinageorgieva8554]

that part is visible only from the back

[@localman12]

Seems like most of the "double" budget went for the curved ceiling. As nice as it is, the rest of it is pretty ordinary. I would want a lot more for the amount they spent and will still have to spend on the bedrooms and bath.

[@brunomckay1875]

Still have every light on inside at the completion

[@jagilo9677]

There’s a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Jackson Mississippi in a very old neighborhood. The house is not very big but it is amazing after all the years that have passed. The original owners sent Mr Wright a letter requesting he design the family home and then they sent him a check in the mail. He designed and corresponded with the family all via snail mail. The house was done exactly as designed with the details and materials he suggested. The house is of course sought after by buyers but the price definitely matches the value of the neighborhood. This bungalow will have no problem with resale. I imagine they’ll keep it forever

[@sawtoothmetal]

For only 90 thousand pounds, they can learn what it is to live in an uninsulated Quonset hut? Super expensive to heat and noisy when it rains, not to mention the condensation. The show steered them wrong and for a pretty penny.

[@babycakes8434]

I was thinking the same noise and lack of insulation, which means that it will cold in the winter and hot in the summer🤦‍♀️Great combo. Kind of like living in a barn....

[@olly-kai]

[@JW-zs6tn]
