Grand Designs: Top 5

Series 1, episode 0

Patrick Bradley, a young farmer and architect, has come up with a £100k house design the like of which has never been seen before in his native Northern Ireland. It's to be built out of four 45-foot shipping containers, welded together to form a giant cross and cantilevered over the top of a stream at a beautiful secluded spot on the family farm. His mum is hoping his new home will get Patrick a girlfriend. His minuscule budget and super-tight schedule are quickly under threat. Can four big, clanking, rusty, windowless metal boxes be made into a warm comfortable home?
