    Grand Designs is such a great show. 95% of the time it’s just rich people pissing their fortune up the wall on vanity projects. But every once in a while you get a little gem like this one.

    • @uleertel
      @uleertel 2 роки тому +4

      I would say it's more like 60/70% of the project that are over the top. And some are in the middle, a bit of vanity but they also put every bit of money they have in it.

    Strange title. Not sure if I like this renovation. I have a passion for old ruins, it seems to have disappeared , taking down and putting up perfection is not conservation of a listed building. But they like it and they gave permission for them to do it. So listing it was without purpose if you think about it.

      Seems like listing it probably dropped the price massively when they came to buy it. So if anything, listing it probably actually doomed it even more. As ghe only people that may have bought it other than this couple would have been English heritage or similar, with no one probably committing enough to prevent it falling down further.

    @PLuMUK54 2 роки тому +5

    I am confused. How does demolition and a new build with the stones equal renovation? If I demolished my garden shed, but reused the door and hinges, is that renovated?
    An interesting project, but unfortunately it has destroyed the character of the site. The romantic ruin has been replaced with an over-large structure that dominates the stream in a way that the original buildings never did. No doubt the timber cladding will settle down as it ages, but it will always be shouting "look at me". It looks more like a building that, to misquote Dickens, "crept into the valley as a young warehouse, and couldn't find its way out again".
    I think that I would have preferred to see the structure slowly decay, eventually leaving a few piles of fern covered stone in a truly magical setting. After all, this project has not really preserved anything but the footprint of the original building, what has been lost is much greater.

    It would've made better sense (and cheaper) to have completely restored the building as it would've appeared originally- using the exact same (exterior) materials. This would make the building fit in to it's environment a great deal more than what we have here.
    What we have now however is the consequence of overcautious 'conservation' and pedantic National park bureaucracy.

    I am sorry to say the look from outside to inside is wow to holiday crap. Dose not represent the old building at all because of the interior design. Not industrial look or neither Morden. I think they have to cut down the interior designing inside of the building due to budget.
