Less than 30 seconds in and they mention eco and sustainability. But they are demolishing a perfectly good bungalow, very good for the environment that.

I like the design, looks cool.

And i suspect they may get it done right... note Kev's shot where he says it may be possible.

i reckon he did that AFTER they fininshed and realised he'd look like a plank otherwise hehe
