Yes! I agree. She really gets how people want to live now and I love she isn’t snobby with architecture.

Tonight’s design from Tom was WILD! He is out there but I couldn’t understand this design at all

I can’t believe Jill seriously considered Tom’s design. I mean a pull out bed, kitchen still in the back room and bedroom connected sound wise with her son?? Would have been impossible to sell and recoup the money spent too.

Yeah, I think she was being polite. The only good thing was the sky lights to see the view. The rest was ridiculous. Would love to see his house, if he has kids I wonder if they have the master suite and he has a fold down bed next to the kitchen?

Does anyone remember Robert, the Irish designer who was obsessed with building plywood seating round the edges of the room rather than allowing someone to have a sofa. On one episode he created a spare room in someone’s house by raising the floor in the corner of the living room and putting a curtain round it, and put a bath underneath a wooden cover as part of the seating between the living room and the kitchen?I was stunned when they chose that design!

We always laugh about Robert. Every single week he would be seen coming out of the sea with his hair tumbling and his necklaces yet he would trot out a bench seat every single time.

Remember that one where his family effectively had the family sleeping in cells with zero space for any clothes or possessions with a massive living room that was all box seats around the outside with a trampoline in the attic? it was genuinely horrific.

I always wondered whether he’d actually want any of his designs in his own home, and if he had some deep rooted hatred for sofas. Turns out from a Google that his own home looks very normal/traditional in comparison, and yes, he owns a sofa 😂

I’ll show my kids, they always laugh about his designs x
 
that architect bloke today, I admire his ability to stay polite and positive about the finished result 😂

I think apart from the angled wall of the extension, they didn't take on a single one of his ideas? And even that they'd fecked it by changing the angle so it was so much closer to the fence.

Hideous pebble dash render all over the outside
Anthracide window frames that didn't go with the vintage frontage at all
Flat roof which already had standing water on it so that hasn't been constructed well and will either leak or go green
Weird paint shapes on the wall making it look like a corporate meeting space

😂

I know! His design was amazing! Could understand the wasted height space in the kids rooms but not the rest. They even lost out on the bigger bathroom

Just caught up today and totally agree that his design was mostly lost in the monstrosity they created. It definitely was not a light space even with all the lights on. The kitchen cupboards looked really cheap, as did the counter tops. Was wondering what the paint mural reminded me of and you nailed it.

Have to say I hated his design though. All the wood make it look like an old scout hall. I’d be terrified the window on a hinge would just allow loads of birds to fly in. The extra ceiling height in the kids room was totally not practical - you lost storage space in the loft to add shelving in a kid’s room they couldn’t actually use and would be a pain to keep clean. Likewise to decorate.

I simply cannot understand how all these people have an upper limit and then blow the budget every week. They said £60k was their max and then they can find thousands more? I get they didn’t have a lot of choice re: building materials post-Covid but did they just have no concept of how much adding an extension on their home would cost?

Where do people get £80k from for this house work? Is everyone secretly rich apart from me? Loans? Lottery? Can someone enlighten me as to where people manage to get these budgets from!
Didn't like this week's episode either, I think they ruined his design..loved the first episode of the series though!
