Grand Designs: Bristol

Series 1, episode 0

Martin Pease is a successful architect but he's about to embark on a much more personal project: a home for his wife Katherine and their two children. The design he has come up with is not the obvious choice for a family: a giant sugar cube with an interior that is white and open-plan. The detailing has to be perfect because there's nowhere to hide mistakes but the biggest risk of all is that using all these commercial techniques and materials, Martin's dream could end up looking more like a glamorous car showroom than a comfortable family home
