Anybody watch it?
I made the front door that is going to feature in tonights programme.
The house is on the River Thames

Sometimes.... I would kill for a Huf Haus!
-
only problem with Grand Designs is Kevin McCloud is an absolute c0ck
-
This thread is only 3 posts long and it ace already. :signLOL:
I too love the huf Haus, I used to absolutely love this program 5 or 6 years ago when I moved from my flat to nice house. Most of these people need certifying after.

Is a huf haus the one they practically build and ship from germany?

Thats it... basically an Über high quality 'ikea' house. Designed and built in Germany and then assembled on site.

Love the programme. Would love to do a big build

I'm more of a Baufritz man...

Great programme but McCloud is a bit of a knob jokey!
Lady down the road from my Mother In Law as had a Huf Haus built near Sherbourne in Dorset and WOW, what a house. Don't think it could ever be described as a "homely" place though. They are a bit sterile but still WOW,
:happy2:

Maybe I am a bit more old fashioned but I much prefer an old Barn Conversion (perferably Stone Built) with a Farmhouse Kitchen/Diner :happy2:

The couple on last nights' program (modern house located on river beside various old-style houses) really did my head in, especially when the woman said that she wanted to knock the neighbours' old houses down. I'd much rather have had one of their houses than theirs, which was empty, echoey (sp) and was more like a private health clinic than a home. Garden was alright though...

Totally agree, there is a place for these modern "boxes" and It was not sat inbetween period houses on the thames, saying that in another 100+ years they will all likely be under water anyway :signLOL:
-
I loved their new house, its exactly what id go for. however it did tower over the neighbours house and completely blocked their view down the river. She was a pompus snob arse though, and needed a puch in the face......... :fighting:
-
I watched about 5 seconds of it and that women was so stuck up, i didnt watch the rest of it. That 'white box' isnt my idea of a nice functional home.
-
I didn't mind the house but how on earth that got accepted as it's hardly "in keeping" with those around it.
She needed to have a word with herself as well. :fighting:

I think in most cases the juxtaposition of cutting edge modern architecture alongside period buildings is more successful than trying to make a new building "fit in".

Did like this episode, the woman was high and for me client from hell, asks her ex husband architect to design it up, architect budget is 50% out despite this forming part of your architectural training not thinking to get a QS to provide him costs, he then jumps ship (can't blame him) and then they are not friends
For me the wingers houses were of little architectural merit, old yes but not outstanding, I liked what they did on the whole but peoople make the classic mistake of not using colour when going minimilist look, in Britain we are stuck in this quaint old period style approach.
Huf houses just look a bit to modular for me and kit of parts ish, baufritz have some design quality, love the concept as this though
All comes down to taste in the end, my current work playground is a world heritage site with some iconic buildings but the one that I like most is one of the smallest and about 5 years old, however, I do however have respect for the others

I agree about Huf Haus. The modular nature means little or no individuality. Love the concept, but for it to make true sense affordability needs to be part of the formula.
New build properties in the UK are a disgrace. Our towns and cities are being filled with vile housing estates consisting of 4 storey houses with terrible layouts.

Tonights looks quite interesting. :scared:

That was absolutely stunning, and amazing value for money IMO.
