George Clarke's Amazing Spaces
2012
For many the dream of having a bolt hole or a place to escape from their hectic lives can seem unobtainable. Architect George Clarke shows how such big dreams can be achieved in small and affordable places. George delves into the extraordinary world of small builds to meet the highly creative people who are taking tiny, unpromising spaces and creating the most incredible places to live and work and play. There are homes made out of shipping containers, horseboxes, and old buses. Others are building tiny huts or incredible treehouses in the middle of the woods.
Seasons & Episode
George has the idea of turning a rusty scissor lift into a cabin in the sky and starts his Denmark trip with a visit to a modern take on the old Viking longhouse. After a bus from a previous series burned in a fire, its owner replaces it with an ambitious new build made of four shipping containers. Plus, a beautician and her daughter create a four-wheeled beauty parlour.
George meets an actor moving up the four-wheel property ladder and visits an underground bar in Denmark covered in seashells. Plus: It's full steam ahead for a dog-friendly holiday let.
A man pays homage to one of the great modernist homes with his new garden room and George visits the teenager who created a shepherd's hut last year, to follow his latest build. George visits a bizarre garden folly inspired by a wedding cake, a striking beach house inspired by pill boxes and an old RNLI station. In Denmark, the architect checks out a stunning circular house inspired by the owner's car collection.
A couple attempt to combine an army lorry and an old caravan to create the ultimate off-roader, and a man returns to his family's farm to build a luxury cabin. Meanwhile, George visits a building in Denmark that was designed to be a work of art and an office, checks out a skip that's been turned into a home, and takes inspiration for his scissor lift cabin from a stunning 18th-century bridge.
George meets a couple turning a derelict water pumping station into a luxury holiday home and an outdoor swimmer building a futurist micro camper. Plus: a glamping tree pod in a Danish forest.
