David Rickard (Moved)Watching an old episode of Grand Designs, figured out the location of the house. Lots of experimental techniques and the usual madness.
It has not aged gracefully.
The satellite view shows how the fancy pool in the middle has been filled in, a bit built in the middle, and the gaps filled with crap.
Not so grand, methinks.
PhilipKing@KingDaveRa it’s often the case that many of these are Grand to look at but borderline unliveable and difficult to maintain. I remember one Grand Designs revisited where they explained that changing a ceiling light bulb involved removing most of the furniture from the living space to allow the construction of scaffolding. The wall that was almost entirely glass to give views over countryside was now curtained half way for privacy etc etc #GrandDesigns #Unliveable
@PhilipKing none of that surprises me. I just see so many impractical things in some of those houses. We've often said things like 'that'll need replacing' or 'that won't last '.
