Grand Designs Season 12 Episode 4
Kevin McCloud follows Lysette and Nigel Offley, who are knocking down an old Thames boathouse and constructing a cutting-edge home in its place. Taking inspiration from the river itself, they have designed a building of waves and curves with a huge glass porthole for a roof light. But problems begin almost from the start, as they can’t find a contractor willing to build over the water, their architect leaves unexpectedly and the costs turn out much higher than expected. To make matters worse, the neighbours aren’t happy about such a radical sight in their traditional community. As they begin to compromise, Kevin wonders if the couple’s dreams will ever be realised.
