stupid ego architect to not incorporate the old tree into his design with a U or L shape. the guy is designing on his computer. not good. and equally stupid to shut the whole country down. and now this "spiritual place" box sits in a sea of gravel. it's really awful.
@marcelcicort9671 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Absolutely fabulous 👌. Rooftop while I like in this situation is an overkill since they have so much greenery and nature at the backside, and the extra cost of cladding I find useless..
@iShootWild June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Beautiful Home!!!
@SrFederico June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
I would move in instantly ;-)
@Molloy1951 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
The husband already complaining the apple tree had to go, rather than planting a new one. 😂
@davecahyo June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Beautiful house indeed, but for me it doesn't look like Asian at all, except for one wooden cabinet I saw
@Ed-em6mf June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
4:40 - Why make such large house to begin with? Couldn't it have been a bit shorter or gone around that tree?
@IGuess... June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
House itself is SO GORGEOUS but the furnishings inside definitely do not stand up to the architecture. I hope she was just getting started on the interiors when this was filmed... !
@annakeye June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
What a smart, simple design. I love it. I would never have thought a true pavillion style would work in such an environment but work it does. Nice one.
@jlynn732 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Wow that roof is ugly
@unknownt5250 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Kevin McCloud has no mind of his own and agrees with everything people do. He’s forward and searches around peoples new homes as if he’s the police searching for drugs. On the advert you see him breaking a door that he’s trying to open. Channel 4 Grand Design needs a new Television Presenter.
@sophieisabunny June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Didn't see much of asian style here
@marc0523 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Lovely, perfect for the Gretta.
I love how she considered her guests and had two spare rooms, even though she would have no need, it shows a natural thought to other's comfort and well being.

Personally, I would have built a bigger gap between the two houses, but that is pretty much the only change I would make.
@junehulton8320 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Fabulous design style. Tons of room. Not cluttered ...bright clean. And joyful with the outside space adjoining the home...and being next door to your sister...well what more would you need.....❤️❤️....the home is filled with love ...can tell easily. Great memories. Along the way from her travels..
@worldpilgrim4638 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
What's the floor material? It looks warmer than polished concrete.
@qiraat8032 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
£300? really how two bedroom houses cost £200 where and when?, is it a really old video?
@dannys7795 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Metal structure with SIP's panels in between. How can that possibly work and be allowed in the building code because each part of the metal structure in that roof with create a thermal bridge?????
@totz7584 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
an intelligent architect must design according to existing site condition...but the removal of the apple tree makes him think like a contractor..
@iraq865 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Wonderful and amazing
@jekku4688 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Gorgeous and zen-ful! And all on one floor, brilliant!
@annsmith7207 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
It is really unfortunate that the 100 year old apple tree could not be incorporated and designed into the house itself. They could have made it work and certainly honored it with the pride of place it deserved! Truly a shame!
@PurpleTentacle17 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
So, they killed a 100 year old tree to build a house for 1 person? The tree would still be living long after she is death...
@stopstalkingyouspookybastard June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
ooo i like the drama with the apple tree. mexican wasnt happy
@bmwmercedes5000 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Shed/box, rather than architecture. And that's coming from a huge fan of modernism. This just doesn't work visually.
@julielumsden5184 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Why so many bedrooms?
@tictoc5443 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Architects name please
@vcat7722 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Super cool idea for a roof terras on a bungalow: https://youtu.be/YMvNtNHuRWM?t=168
@XTSu-sl1bb June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Best house ever on grand design
@trishalivingston1051 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
WOW!! It's off the charts fantastic. Love it, lots of space and NO Stairs.. which I have hated since 12 yrs old, when my wonderful grandfather fell down the stairs and did not survive. What a fantastic sister and brother in law. Magnificent result.
@christophmartin5381 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Awesome! They have done great in many aspects. The view to the outside is in my opinion the best. But there is one thing that I do not understand these days. Where are the Photovoltaic panels? Any new build house today should have a PV system ! They should be mandatory!
@tohagan12 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Why does one person living alone need a 4 bedroom house!! A 2/3 bedroom place still would have been huge for her.
@theofarmmanager267 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Although there are similarities between this house and our barn conversion, there are obvious differences. We played with the idea of an all-white theme, letting lights and furniture stand out from that. But, for us, it was too stark. So, we are painting the walls off-white and many rooms will have one wall of a darker colour. Our bedroom is going to be wallpapered with one from the William Morris collection.

I’m really glad that the steel structure went well. Our architects worked with our main contractor and a specialist steel frame company. We had 55% of pieces of steel come to site too long or too short. You can understand 1 or 2 - but over half? It turned out that our so-called specialist steel frame company were buying the cold rolled steel (some 18” x 5”) from another company and, speaking to the draughtsman at that company, the plans supplied were inadequate. Now, I blame both of them - the steel frame people for not supplying adequate drawings and the rollers for not insisting on clear plans.

It was always the plan for our contractor to bolt the new frame elements together and to the old frame elements. We (as the people paying) said that we are not paying a penny more than had been agreed and, in the end, our contractor got paid handsomely well for all the extra time involved in cutting lengths to the right size and got a load of additional steel where the pieces had been cut too short. We got the building but the delay was months. I could tell a tale of woe where the steel frame problem turned out to be the least of our problems. If people want to read it, I will write it.

I love the simplicity of the home and the views to the garden from many aspects. Shame about the apple tree, might have been nice to see if it could have been moved.
@Xander785 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Can you stop normalising "lockdown" by talking about it like it's just something that happens – instead of it being the biggest crime of the 21st century. Thank you!
@ilovegames9053 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
I wonder if Fernando planted another apple tree to create new memories.
@jasonkingshott2971 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
I've travelled throughout Malaysia and never seen anything similar.
@razal-ghul1105 June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
Did the 300k all go into the house or did it involve the amount paid for the Land
@hewantsslaniii June 25, 2024 - 11:17 pm
I’m just wondering if they will ever be able to go to the toilet or go in the bath without everyone seeing in…
