That’s beautiful. Agony but I hope they’re proud. Interior styling is great as well.
I could understand building a house like that in hot, sunny areas, but in the UK?
what I was thinking regarding the pool.
Beautiful 🤩
gorgeous!
Amazing !!!
Love to see that planting now.
One of my favourite episodes
Какой дизайн 🙂очень красиво.
Never give up
Wow
I am amazed by the artistry and craftsmanship of bygone era's and the lack of it today.
I demolish homes for most of the early 2000s. What you feel is nostalgia. Few people build good homes before the 90s. The ones you see are those few. Building used to be such a collection of guys being guys with no idea on what an structure is. We are building to such a higher level now with proper engineering models and proper checks on the system.
@@eliaschevette You misunderstood, I'm talking about 150 -200 plus years ago. Back when door hinges had artwork cast into them. What is built today is soul-less. As you say technical. Go to Rome and you might grasp what beauty in a building is
@@brucebaker3523 150-200 years ago most people in Britain, in Rome and throughout most of the world lived in damp, cramped conditions in simple cottages or urban slums. As the other person tried to point out: the sturdy, beautiful homes that have survived until the present day were the exceptions, not the rule. This is the definition of survivorship bias.
@@frmcf Everything is relative. Mayan temples sacrificed virgins for climate change, today people sacrifice free choice and income for climate change. The world has never been safer or healthier yet people live in constant fear. You can fly to the moon but the common cold is still a medical mystery. Beauty has nothing to do with politics or time. Art is timeless and modern art sucks.
3:12 very nice view
I can almost hear the French horn and see the twin suns set
This is not too far off from what I wanted to do. Minus the garage idea.

such a shame they can't be full programs
Intriguing design, but that tacky hot tub lets it down a bit. Still, after five years maybe they deserve a soak...
Gotta agree. A tub executed as a natural looking pond would have fit the character much better
at some point when your in a 5 year overrun, you just gotta cut a couple corners to get it done
So rain just flow down to your house? i wonder how well those walls will keep after 10 years.
@@vaderstar it does, but i don't live in a pit
Engineering figured that out.
You'll never guess how they solved this - about 6000 years ago, the Mesopotamians invented these things called pipes. It was revolutionary at the time because they could be used to transport water from one place to another! There's been a few minor improvements to the original concept, but the idea is still used today!
@@Caiydepipes only work for flowing water my friends. You can see the naked walls touching the soil. The damp in the soil will eat away the walls within a couple of years. This needed a bitumen sealing on the outer shell
@@JVZBrowserYou mean just like every house with a concrete foundation has collapsed after a few years because the water ate away the concrete? We still have concrete from roman times built by the romans.
I love Radon gas, too!
A massive lesson in not what to do in terms of quality, cost and time.
lame
They built for themselves,not for you.😂
it’ll be wonderful once they get the second storey on it
I'd like to see where the rain goes 😂
Don’t you think they might have thought of that ?😂
@@stephencrowther524 they didn't talk about it in the video 😂
One word - drainage
Which episode is this one ? And which season ?
You have to give it to them for their vision and perseverance with the project but it’s not a practical or particularly aesthetically pleasing design in my opinion. They could have built above ground, as normal and boring as it may be, and achieve a similar design which would have reduce labour, cost, time and potential drainage issues as the property ages. Furthermore, in doing so, they could have utilised more of the land and incorporated more light and those picturesque views into the design/aesthetic. Missed opportunity to be unique and creative in a practical way!
looks beautiful. but why underground ??!!!!!.
why not ground level ??!.
Restricted site. Is in Canterbury conservation area
Fricken planners!! The bane of the free world. They hate humanity.
Bamboo - lols.
Expat 🇬🇧 i deisged and built my own house in Colombia 🇨🇴 6 months $35,000 3 story over looks the Mountains no stress
Are these people Crazy 👎
Glad they don't have grass fires in the UK or snakes...and rain where does all the water go....would be great to see it today
So it's basically a big bathtub that will collect rainwater
It’s a grave with a view?
Like to return in 10 years and see how it looks . Cannot see very good . Very depressing structure . For me of all grand designs has to be what I would call a failure esp on what they spent . Will struggle to sell . BUT credited due to them for carrying on .
I love inventivity and uniqueness but God this makes no sense. I see so many things going wrong with it in a few years.
Beautiful..but why?
You could just sink it half way down, and put the excavated earth around the outer wall for the same effect. House in a hill is not much different from house in a hole.
Ok, soooooo, it never rains here?
If yes, is there some type of system to remove water as it pours in.
5 years is nothing
One word: WHY?
Building a problem.It must be like living in an office.
Karl Pilkington is doing well huh😂
HORRID!!
Amazon delivery station Dsp designers you could design an Amazon year
One more blow to the concept of sustainability. NO ONE needs a house like this. It's a sad commentary on our economic system that makes this kind of thing possible.
Invisible? Hardly!
Horriblement moche, excessivement moderne et froide. C'est une maison mais pas un foyer accueillant.
"subterranean"
A hot tub. Ugh. Human soup.
Modern houses are tasteless and cold. I do not like them.
Evolving includes opening your eyes to what you never saw before, meaning in the present, for you are never done evolving
ew
What a stupid idea
A wasted view of the landscape
Such mediocrity for so much pain.
Unhealthy living.
