Arts Documentary hosted by Kevin McCloud, published by Channel 4 in 2006 - English narration Information ------------------------------ Grand Designs: Series 6 This 6th series of Grand Designs follows the stories of six ambitious couples pursuing their architectural dreams. Designer and writer Kevin McCloud witnesses the structural, financial and emotional journey of each build over many months as the plans unfold into buildings with their own unique stories and designs. This series features an enormous ultra modern house that has to blend into the Midlothian countryside, a space age minimalist white cube in Bristol and in Monmouth a couple set about the design and build of an 'Addams family' Gothic styled dream house. The only thing that each of the six featured constructions have in common is that they are new builds and started life as a blank canvas. 6) Pre Fabricated Modernist House Bath may be famous for its Georgian architecture, but Tiffany Wood and her husband Jonny have chosen it as the location to build themselves a striking Modernist home. 7) Stone Barn Conversion Robert and Jane Ellis decided to convert an isolated hilltop ruin in the Forest of Dean in Herefordshire. Adding modern steel and glass they created a mouth watering contemporary structure. They decided to keep as much of the old barn as it is. The new additions are clearly modern and new, with a clear line separating old and new. The old barn was very dark with no real windows and since planners ruled that no additional windows can be added, they had to use as much of available light as they could. The result is a surprisingly bright space, filled with lots of steel, stainless struts, glass and the best of modern furniture, where new and old are sitting in a very easy dialog. 8) Cedar Clad Family Home Theo and Elaine Leijser hoped to bring a bit of Dutch style to Scotland in the building of their first family home - a colourful, contemporary three storey house, with a striking cedar clad exterior. The couple stumbled across the perfect plot overlooking the beautiful Campsie Fells near Glasgow, bought it and began to plan their dream build. 9) Water Tower Conversion For six years Bruno and Denise Del Tufo stared at the large concrete water tower at the bottom of their garden trying to figure out what to do with it. It's a very rare object - a square water tower on stilts designed by architect Edwin Lutyens, who built it to supply the manor house nearby. It's not exactly beautiful but Bruno and Denise feel very protective towards it. When they sold their house, they were worried that someone might knock the tower down, so they decided to try and find a way to live in this huge, concrete monster. 10) Garden House Charting the building plans of Christine and Peter Benjamin who are hoping to construct a small retirement home within a walled garden in the grounds of the manor house where they used to live.
