George Clarke's Amazing Spaces: First Homes
Season 1 Episode 2 of 4
From buses to boats, and from toilet blocks to tiny homes, George meets proactive individuals who are fighting to put a roof over their heads and succeeding with hard work, determination and some clever left-field thinking. He meets a young couple who are creating a home on a bus to save the money they used to spend on rent, and an older couple who are building their dream retirement home in Cornwall on the site of a derelict toilet block. And on his visit to the Netherlands, George visits a pair of houses made entirely of recycled and leftover materials from the building industry, that could well point the way to building cheaper houses. Will Hardie meets the couple who have turned an American RV into their full-time home, before visiting a very modern micro-apartment in a 1930s block of flats in London
