Grand Designs: The Streets on ABC and ABC iview S3E5 – Kevin McCloud follows more innovative and pioneering community projects across the British Isles and revisits the ambitious self-builds in Graven Hill and Glasgow with co-presenter Natasha Huq.
Episode Five
The structure of a house is usually made with solid materials – super-thick timber, concrete, steel. But Jonathan has invented an experimental new building system with the help of world-class engineers, where the walls, floor and roof of houses are made from wooden boxes held together only with bolts.
Jonathan is building his home with this system and wants to experiment on himself, pushing his concept further than ever – building up three storeys, which has never been done before.
If he pulls it off, it will be the largest structure ever made using this method! More than just an experiment, his home will also be a place to settle down with his son and an opportunity to return to the City of York where he grew up.
