Garden House aka Mies van der Rohe Inspired House Summary
Grand Designs Season 6 Episode 7 Synopsis
Christine Benjamin and her husband Peter currently live in an Edwardian manor house called Medland Manor. Both in their 60s, the manor is getting to be too large for them, so they've decided to build themselves something smaller.
Despite the manor's traditional style, Peter and Christine felt strongly that their new building should embrace modern design whilst remaining sensitive to its site. So they came up with a house that is part traditional timber frame cottage, part modern glass pavilion.
Grand Designs is a Channel 4 TV series covering unusual architectural house-building projects, presented by Kevin McCloud.
The properties featured in the series vary wildly from homes underground to converted water towers, with the only common factor being that they're all rather unusual or extravagant in some way.
