New series of Grand Designs

[Laurel Green]

Further advanced than it looks? Could have fooled me!

ETA: Are they going to name the building? I'd go for Chocolate Factory.

[Deva Link]

They look like ticky tacky boxes!

This guys chat reminds me of our architectural crits at Uni; we would have bingo words that either everyone would use to sound intelligent or we would try and get into every presentation; juxtaposition of the elemental structural forms blah blah blah

Ah, good old Bullst Bingo. Played that.

Google images it and there's plenty to print out and play

Classic complicated Grand Designs build, nothing going right and a pregnancy.

Have we fired a tradesman yet?

..That'll be the full house - literally.

http://goo.gl/maps/VSDTx - should be able to also get the map from that streetview link.

Cheers. Thought it was. Spent most of my twenties getting drunk round there one way or another.

[Steamer]

Ummmm... did someone just sweep the floor in our workshop?

[DoubleSix]

That door is ridiculous..

[V8mate]

No letter box.

[Justin Cyder]

Huh? Looks like a half finished branch of Habitat.

[FourWheelDrift]

Looks cold, inhospitable and sterile.

More like a small town library.

[KP328]

I like the idea having a small door leading into a huge space..just not that huge space.

[soxboy]

Oh look, they've designed a public library. Well done.

[DoubleSix]

BTC lighting.... nice

[DoubleSix]

lol

[Justin Cyder]

Have you ever seen anything more beautiful than this?





Yes.

[jke11y]

Do not want. Completely unappealing to me but then it is the total opposite of every residential job I've ever worked on.

[4sure]

You Cannot Be Serious !

[V8mate]

Nothing restful or beautiful about the place. It's a combination of Travelodge and municipal building.

[ajprice]

Ok, frosted glass to the toilet... Eh?!?!

It's all looking a bit industrial/office building. With a few hotel rooms at the end. At the start they said it wouldn't be severe. It is. Very.

I'll pass on this one.

It's about the first Grand Design where at the end I've thought...why?

No likey
