Ali and Denise are sick of their ugly house. After their house had been completely destroyed by previous owners, their house is the “eyesore” of the street. Sinking $265,000 into the house, the couple can’t afford to move so turn to George Clarke to help design their ugly house into a lovely house. Will they get the family house of their dreams? Or will they bee stuck in this nightmare house?

I love this architect. She is open and honest. She tells them up front that all of her ideas will cost too much but they can choose what change they'd like to invest in. She is much more down to earth and honest than some of the other architects who pretty much force people to go above budget.

@Dark_Aeon Жыл бұрын

I actually did not like her approach, because she didn't show them a second option that 100% fits in their budget. And with renovations, you need to also leave a 15% additional margin for underlying issues (like what happened here later). Since she's changing their brief, she should've started with two ideas, it's common practice.

@Dark_Aeon Жыл бұрын

@Jasveer Singh Bal if she left out parts of the house, she would still miss the brief-which was to design the entire house within the budget. It was 100% possible without some of the glass partitions and other ideas.

The frustrating about this show, is every time, George says, now the architect will go away and design something to their budget... And the first thing the architect always says, upon presenting the plans, is that the design is outside of their budget, and they will have to compromise. If the architect openly states that the design is outside of the budget, they should be fired, becausenitnwas a brief to design a home within a budget.

@MsFitz134 Жыл бұрын

Yup. Not only is it out of the budget, but so often much of the budget is eaten up in making the home look interesting and unique rather than on actually delivering the things the clients ask for. If I went to an architect and asked them to help me add an extra bedroom and bathroom to my home for $50K, and they offered me a fancy modern living/dining/kitchen area for $80K... I wouldn't be hiring them. Doesn't matter how beautiful their design is, it's not what I asked for.

My grandfather was a builder, and the very first lesson he taught was never over improve your house. No matter how long we live in it, someday we (or our heirs) will have to sell it. There is always a balancing between neighborhood 'feel', costs and resale. The architect's 'menu' options briefly touched on this, but I think the older gentleman who'd grown up on the crescent nailed it - they'll never recoup their investment financially, only in their quality of life while they live there. THAT is a very personal decision for every family. While this finished house is very beautiful, I think it missed the 'teenage' brief. As the kids age, they'll more likely hang out in their upstairs bedrooms with their friends while adults congregate in the delightful kitchen/living room/garden spaces. A very interesting show that raises much food for thought and discussion.

One of the main issues that the couple wanted addressed was that the adults had to retreat to their bedroom when the teenagers brought over their friends. Looks to me like they still don’t really have a retreat other than their primary bedroom. The music room has no comfortable seating and the teens will be going from kitchen to living room during visits. Both kids have bigger bedrooms to accommodate double beds - why? A twin is big enough for one adult. And there is no closet space in the girl’s third floor loft. The loft could have been turned into the teen hangout zone instead.

@bluezauza Жыл бұрын

Especially with this one, I just don't understand why they could keep the red brick details, would've given it a little of the original character and might have been a nice gesture to the neighbours. This feels slightly rude

They need plants inside and outside. That garden is screaming to be updated

Not really a durable outside and a fire risk

Very nice but I can't help thinking perhaps the Crittall window frames should have been in white...

Why do they make the homeowners feel like they are being greedy and "what to have everything?" The architect put the plans with "EVERYTHING" in it and then they tell them, "you can't have everything!" How stupid is that? This show is getting on my nerves. What dumb producer accepted that? They ought to be fired.
