Grand Designs: The Streets on ABC and ABC iview S3E6 – 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 Six
Inspired by hikes in the Scottish Highlands, shop owner and jewellery maker Karen is building her version of a mountain hut in central Glasgow.
After a five year wait to get started, the project finally leaps into action when Karen and her two neighbours agree to collaborate and lay out all of their foundations together using the same contractor. But building an architecturally ambitious house in close proximity to neighbours, comes with its own set of challenges.
Next door is retiree William, who in an architecturally progressive street is building something deliberately old-style – a home cloaked in textured grey render called roughcast. His initial plan is to get the professionals in to build the house – but his love of DIY gets the better of him, and bit by bit he takes on more and more of the work himself.
