Anyone else caught this new series? The idea is that two architects present different approaches to the renovation/extension/remodel (so far, so humdrum) but then the ideas are presented to the couple in Virtual Reality so they can walk through the scheme to properly visualise how it works. I'd absolutely love to do this: I have no ability to visualise spaces presented on paper plans, especially sizes of rooms. (Unfortunately we have no budget to do it so I'll have to make do with property programmes for now!) There's only been one episode so far but I was impressed by how different the two architects' ideas and styles were to one another (not just your bifold doors and steel supported open plan kitchen that seems to be the go-to for every George Clark and Kirsty Allsop plan). I also like the presenter, who I'd never seen before.

I don't get that bench seating along the window, unless you've got a lot of sunshine in the winter, someone will get a cold back all the time sitting there.
And call me too practical, but heating all that open plan downstairs.

Very much prefer Laura's design, much more sensible, imho.

Won't it be very noisy with the music playing

Yubaba · 14/05/2019 20:37

I don’t think they like it either

PJMasksAreOnTheirWay · 14/05/2019 20:37

‘Robert you’ve totally given them what they asked for’.

What, a 100 chairs?

SwedishEdith · 14/05/2019 20:38

How would you get away from the music room? What if someone wants to watch tv?

TheSpottedZebra · 14/05/2019 20:38

So many seats but no piano stool pictured. Hmm

It annoys me that they don't really look into the feasibility side. Getting rid of the walls is surely QUITE A BIG structural job. More than 45k ?

Yes a curtain is just as good as a wall said no one ever. Noise cancelling headphones needed all round.

Cedilla · 14/05/2019 20:39

Flimsy net curtains are not going to cut it as a way of closing off areas of a music room. Duh.

screamer1 · 14/05/2019 20:39

Ridiculous. Thing is they've pitched a radical architect against one who's more practical and in tune with how people actually want to live. People are generally conservative and are always going to go with her ideas

woodhill · 14/05/2019 20:39

You can draw the avocado curtains 😂

SwedishEdith · 14/05/2019 20:41

Curtains next to the woodburner?

TheSpottedZebra · 14/05/2019 20:41

Robert is one of those men who likes to be the centre of attention as he gently strums his guitar, I think.
And he's found a kindred spirit in tidy beardy man.

So despite the 1 million seats, there is no escaping the performative guitar.

screamer1 · 14/05/2019 20:42

He's definitely into tantric sex

screamer1 · 14/05/2019 20:42

Probably plays the guitar after

PJMasksAreOnTheirWay · 14/05/2019 20:43

Fools.

Cedilla · 14/05/2019 20:43

Are they mad??

PJMasksAreOnTheirWay · 14/05/2019 20:44

Of course it’s going to be big, you’ve got no fucking walls.

jay55 · 14/05/2019 20:44

ShockShockShockI'm stunned.

woodhill · 14/05/2019 20:44

Must be freezing

Yubaba · 14/05/2019 20:45

I can’t believe it! Shock

SwedishEdith · 14/05/2019 20:45

I knew they would. Couldn't have a whole series where Robert only wins one. TV company have probably agreed to change it to Laura's after stop filming.😁

HollowTalk · 14/05/2019 20:46

There will be walls put up there within six months, I bet!

Cedilla · 14/05/2019 20:46

So.....a family where they all play different musical instruments are going to be trying to play those musical instruments in one huge space?

Good luck with that, then Hmm

HollowTalk · 14/05/2019 20:50

It looks like a pub at the back of the house.

PJMasksAreOnTheirWay · 14/05/2019 20:52

Why would you want all your windows at the front of your house. The whole world can see in.
