| Summary |
Paul and Penny Denby have lived on the same exclusive South London estate for nearly 20 years. They are surrounded by pioneering houses built in the arts and crafts style in the 1920s, but they are stuck in a dated 1940s mock Georgian house. Now, that is all about to change.Paul and Penny are knocking down their house to build a much bigger contemporary mansion. With its stark white render and huge expanse of glass, this new build aspires to be an exciting and classic piece of modern architecture, as pioneering in its own way as the original houses built on the estate.But Paul and Penny have hardly even changed the carpets in their old home, let alone built a house before. Soon the challenges of building this complex home start to kick in. Over the months, they struggle with the dozens of design decisions they must make and as the budget escalates, they can't raise the extra money needed to finish the house.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Executive Producers: Charlie Bunce and Fiona Caldwell; Producer: Madeleine Hall; Director: Michael Ratcliffe |
