I actually thought there bungalo looked adorable befor including the front windows and tjhink the old criss cross pattern would have lent itself to stained glass . I like small and quaint though . I love the new addition from the inside and the light it brings but am not quite sold on it from the outside due to the material and windows which are very industrial looking . .
I love the design of the new area of this house. I understood what it was going to look like from the beginning. The first episode of the series didn't give you a good idea what it was going to look like until the very end.
I like it a lot, but its 2023 and there is no insulation!!! It will cost a fortune to heat it up and does nothing to save the planet. In Switzerland were I live this could never been built like that.
1983 called. They want their architect back.
Absolutely brilliant. Will Alsop R.I.P was ahead of his time. Wish there had been more $ in the budget to transform the front of the house as well.
They made a mistake by not extending the tin roofing to the entire house. The old roofing looks atrocious and it looks like someone put lipstick on a pig. The inside of the extension is an improvement however there is no continuity between the old and the new.
With American eyes it looks like they built a shed out back then incorporated it, but Americans and Brits have very different relationships with space and "modern" architecture. He blew out their budget, I wonder if they could afford to remain there. Mortgages are painfully real.
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. 🙏👑✝
No solar? Waste of money.hallway wasted space.All glass please
God bless Will Alsop…this man should dump his wife…shes not charming
People look like fish in a small bowl in the open space and back yard. The open design is bad in a small house like that as it means you feel like you are on top of other people instead of having privacy. The roof skylights will leak and the aluminum will be noisy during rain. So will the huge windows in the back. All the non standard materials will cost a premium to repair as they will need a special craftsman and a special order to repair in ten years. The back yard is deathly done and the deck looks nice when new, but give it three years and after rain and wind – it won’t look nearly as nice. All the heat loss from the windows and patio doors in the back and the cathedral ceiling will cost a fortune to heat and cool. And who has paintings stacked against the wall on their kitchen countertop?
How will they heat that new extension?
Minor concern is lighting… other than that super design
Would be interesting to revisit and get feedback on what it's like to actually live in, contend w/upkeep. Follow up, please!
Its amazing, it’s a masterpiece of art. I just love it, well done for trusting Will. Xx
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.
I, personally, do not like the porthole windows. I think they would be better served with larger, rectangular ones that flow out of the curve of the roof. I also don't like, because it can, and will leak with every rain, having a big, long crevase between two roofs like that. Just asking for trouble.
It looks better than I thought it would, but quite a bit Lego-like. 😆
If they’re happy tat’s great.
absurd
Var är isoleringen??
at this point, i would've just tore down the rest of the old house.
the architect doesn't take the homeowners into consideration enuf… i like the round roof and round skylights (just wish they were flush to the roof)… and a different less shiney material on the xterior (like a rusty colored or darker color (dark gray or charcoal) would look better)…
there budget was 50 thous and they spend 90?!… i mean, it ended up amazing, but these architects who constantly go over like it's nothing, geez, disrespectful and rude and literally could ruin folks esp. if they didn't actually have another 40 thousand?!… crazy
