Grand Design - Hillcot Barn 4/5

Hillcott barn, jostles in an exciting way, with conservation heritage. Located in a remote valley of Herefordshire it is a mouthwatering example of contemporary residential design.

The program exposes the pitfalls of self project management. RRA Architects believe that self-build project management is fraught with complexity and shouldn't be attempted without professional guidance through out the entire project.

This episode of Grand Designs, first released by Channel 4 in April 2006 highlights in bucket-loads, how client optimism mixed with reality are not necessarily happy bed fellows. The end result after much blood, sweat and tears is a fantastic barn conversion described by Ken McCloud as, " a mouthwatering contemporary barn conversion."

The program maker Talkback Thames submitted this episode of Grand Designs for a Golden Montreux TV award in 2006.

What a ghastly arrogant woman. Unthinkable and absolutely disgraceful.

You'd think by now she would have learnt that you need to look at the architectural drawings to actually build the house

It's so sad that this project didn't have a good project manager to spot the flaws and make sure things went well. No matter how the house turns out, those windows will always stand out in a really bad way, which is too bad cause it's actually a really pretty barn...

What a miserable tight fisted mean spirited hag. If she'd employed professionals from the start they would have done thing correctly, but because she thinks she knows it all, its cost a fortune and it's all wrong Ha ha
