Anyone else thinking it would be cool to try riding over that house? :o)
Anyone else thinking it is cheap TV considering it was only aired on Thursday evening?!
Thought it was horrible. Looked like what was a cool arched building disastrously extended.
I agree with soup very poor bit of design and more worryingly from the architects point bad proportions
A typical architect proving he can engineer a flimsy building right on the edge of it's structural integrity. It cost him £130k more than he thought it would. That's the price of "innovation"!, but I don't see anything clever about that method. It partially collapsed during the build which was proof enough of this flaky idea. And they put the baby's bedroom underneath it didn't they? I wonder how long it will last and if anyone will get killed if it does come down again. Time will tell.
A conventional construction of this arch using a subsantial former with the fancy tiles laid first followed by steel reinforced concrete to give it strength seems a better route. It would have been quicker, cheaper, stronger with the same aesthetic.
I thought the building looked pretty damn ugly. An arch for the arch's sake, not an integral part of a well designed home. Each to their own eh!
I'd like to take a Kango to a bit of it and see if the whole lot comes down.
did it last through February's snow?

could do that with most houses to be fair....
I got the impression the guy was a pillock, his ideas around house building do seem to reinforce that. IMO
I did wonder myself how it would cope if we see much heavier snow in the future or very heavy rain.
if you could would you build a house that had fetures built in to it that could be riden like wall rides and jumps or hucks off the roof!!
