It seems to be a prfect home for Natasha and her son. Sad that there so many hoops to jump through, but worth it in the end. Beautiful home. Wishing them a wonderful life. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤
The fact that you son is there when it’s being built is great. he will learn a lot more then, this is both ma’s and his house. in the future after mom is no longer with him. He will learn how, who, things where made, and all the parts it took to build it, and he can learn more Handy man work, so he can do his own projects of his own with his own kids. I wish this small but beautiful family a geat future for all in the future members. In the not so future a place his family can visit mom and in you years to come a place fir the son to raise his future family. And if needed he will have the safe to ad rooms to the place.
I can understand the points system, up to a point. But some of the requirements that a large development might need aren't necessarily needed for a small single build. And having to negotiate like this seems ridiculous - yes Madam, you can live in your house if you plant a wildflower meadow, otherwise you are SOL and must shut it down and go pollute in a normal non-ecological home elsewhere. That's just weird.
I love this series, but I don't understand this design. I always have problems with the so-called "Grand designs" that focus mainly on the outside. The atmosphere of the kitchen, the dining area and especially the balcony seems to me like I'm looking out of a completely normal social housing project on the first, second or fifth floor. No connection to the garden and no connection to the living room. The middle part seems to me like a waste of space with too many corridors. The atmosphere of the bedrooms with this overhang in front of the windows reminds me of a dark basement. I really don't get it.
Same thoughts exactly! A square floor plan with a minimum facade it most ecological and efficient. The retaining wall is insane and costly as well. 😅 but credits for honestly showing the imperfect student cladding
Code 6 sounds like good intentions with extremely cruel rules that could erase any of those intentions. Imagine being so concerned about waste, then WASTING the home if one percent doesn't meet some abitrarily strict conditions. 😢
they want to have something to pass on to their children, and they don't want to be kicked out of a rental because their building was sold/torn down or dramatically increase the rent, etc.
I guess I understand the Code 6 rules but my goodness, it sounds near impossible to meet. American here, is this to keep people from building on farmland? Some of these so called eco homes are anything but. I would like to see use of solar and wind power over a bicycle shed.
It's to try to lower energy demands in general (Also American here) for the nation. Enough new constructions like this will lessen the demands on the entire nations resources. This is a great example of an Eco Home. It's energy and water needs are greatly reduced all around. Last I heard the long term goal was to have all new constructions (Homes and the like) would be at least Code 5 rated. A few nations in Western Europe have been near that level since the 2015's or so.
This is the weakest design I have seen on the channel. Lots of wasted space, separated wings with bleak walls facing the terrace. And the retaining wall is just a waste of money. My verdict 10 minutes in. Let’s see….
it took courage and such trust to give a project to a new fish and he did a stunning job
Natasha reminds me of Dawn French in her smile and mannerisms! Another great episode!

The architect went above and beyond
Every time I watch this episode I am stunned by this home!
Oh I love the look of the place
Delightful !
I remember when this episode aired.....I was WRAPPED during the whole episode!
Is this slang for enraptured?

The View Finder House is here! 🌈❤️
Will, could you build me the same house for 260? Absolutely love this home.
That architect had been on before.
Great 👍
Brava!!! Bravi!!!
I've seen this one before. Sure seems like what's his name was crushing on that woman! 🙂lol
Given the test of time since this episode aired we can understand how to make housing unaffordable in the name of environmental policy

How do you stop people living in a place they own? Do you station police there?
Yes. The state will wield violence against you to ensure you follow their rules. This is common sense, I fear.
it's crazy to implement such a crazy bar for personal/private property.
You haven't figured it out yet, lol? No one truly owns anything. 😅

@@binxiao6175 Yep.😉
What is "open countryside?" Isn't all countryside "open?" That's what makes it "countryside."
as opposed to 'treed'.
Maybe, when the view is unobstructed by man-made things/buildings, it is considered "open".

no shower for the workers is 2 pints???????
Why do the English have such an issue with renting? It's a perfectly fine in the countries I've live in; France, Belgium, and the US.

@@Forced2DoThis1That's awesome, actually.
@@Forced2DoThis1what a smart idea.
@@Forced2DoThis1 a bike shed and shower for the workers really?????
@@tomhetrick1078 LOL! For apartment blocks and major development it's not a bad idea. On small scale projects not so much.
There is nothing modest about that house. And there is no way the average person could afford it. The 80k for the lot is a giveaway.
She either has a nice job, receiving a financial payout from a loss, or maybe the child support check is buff. Maybe it's a combination of them all. 😂
@@MPPG663clearly you didn't understand one thing being said all episode or you came straight to comments. It's her life savings.

Argue with a ghost.

What a load of "eco-crap". All those dumb rules. Ridiculous.
