Isle of Skye:
Architect Mary Arnold-Forster has bought one of the most spectacular plots in Scotland for just £25,000. Oliver Heath follows Mary’s progress as she designs and builds a house to withstand storms in winter and midges in the summer, and struggles to get building materials to one of the remotest parts of the British Isles.
Just a quick heads up for tonight's episode of Dream Homes:
On the site of an old signal box in Wisbech, newlyweds Russell and Delia Swann are building a brand new house - with their bare hands. Using the latest sustainable methods, including recycled yogurt pots in the kitchen, this is going to be one of the greenest houses in the country. But all that’s in the future. The reality is that, just three months after their wedding, Oliver Heath finds Russell and Delia living in a caravan at the start of one of the coldest winters on record.
Catch it at 9pm tonight on the Discovery Channel (repeated tomorrow at 8pm and Sunday at 7pm)
Oliver Heath's TV show Dream Homes is back by popular demand, and will be showing on the Discovery Channel.
Join Oliver as he travels across Britain meeting the people who are fulfilling their dream of building their own home.
Each week Oliver joins someone either building or renovating their own dream home, and inspires them with his design advice and by taking them to visit award winning architectural buildings or interior settings to encourage them in the dreams.
You can catch the show on Thursdays (9:00pm) on the Discovery Channel with repeats on Friday at 8:00pm and Sunday at 7:00pm.
Tonight's show:
Oliver meets Geoff and Sarah McCormack who are building their dream home in Maida Vale. Or, at least, Geoff’s dream home - Sarah is not so sure that she wants to sell their existing luxury flat. Recruiting architect Nicolas Boyarsky, they opt for a steel and glass house in contrast to the Victorian street alongside. But their new home is not to everyone’s taste.
