Your Home Made Perfect

Anyone watch the start of series 2 tonight? It's in Wednesdays at 8pm on BBC2, so will be available on iplayer.

I thought this whole concept sounded awful and cheesy when I first heard of it, but I loved s1.

I'm glad they've kept the two architects the same.

Also, that glassed rainforest area in the terrace I feel would be difficult to maintain and could end up looking a bit shit quite quickly. Plus a bit of a waste of space.

I think that the woman designer actually understand how families live in houses whereas the man just knobs about on his island with his shoes off.

This made me laugh, but actually he has a young family from the looks of it. Be interested to know what his house looks like.

I’m watching tonight.
Are they seriously complaining that the house is too small for a family of three?

At no point have the couple mentioned anything for the child.

Erm.......planning permission, anyone? The presenter is right. The neighbours would go ape.

Imagine living next door to his idea!

What about planning?
No way would the neighbours allow that.

They’d be relaxing in their retreat while the neighbours fume

And he's managed to work in modified bench seating in the form of yoga/tatami mats

A faraday cage to get rid of the electrical bullshitery.

I missed what their budget was.....?

don't you need planning for a 'living area' platform above a certain hight so close to neighbours?

I'm sure you do, a neighbour of a friend put steps up the side of their garage and roped the top off to make a terrace area. I think they had to take it down....

40k.

Thanks Pancake

Robert can believe anything he fucking wants, I’d still be fuming if I was his neighbour.

imposed relaxation bollocks

I can't quite believe anyone ever chose his designs tbh. He seems to be getting more and more extreme.

I do want them to go for his design just for the utter shit show.

Too small for their hobbies more like.

No shit that they went for Laura’s design!

I wish they'd stop going on about her 'lady lair'

DH and I loved the unintentional innuendo where she's talking about her lady lair and how the neighbours might not like to look at it!

Wow, that guy got a lot of space, whilst his wife was sort of tacked on the end. She doesn't look impressed by him. I wonder if she's on Mumsnet.

What a prick playing the drums in a built up neighbourhood.
