George Clarke

As council housing in the UK reaches its 100th anniversary, George Clarke embarks on his own personal campaign to kickstart a new wave of council house construction. Clarke explores the reasons for the steep decline in affordable public housing.

Presented by George Clarke, this series travels up and down the UK to new locations, new restorations and amazing stories of people who have gone to extraordinary lengths to build their dream homes.

Architect George Clarke visits some of Britain's most beautiful historic houses in the country each with their own individual architectural style. The problem is that the way houses were built years ago doesn't work anymore so George helps the owners make their period homes fit for modern life.

For many the dream of having a bolt hole or a place to escape from their hectic lives can seem unobtainable. Architect George Clarke shows how such big dreams can be achieved in small and affordable places. George delves into the extraordinary world of small builds to meet the highly creative people who are taking tiny, unpromising spaces and creating the most incredible places to live and work and play. There are homes made out of shipping containers, horseboxes, and old buses. Others are building tiny huts or incredible treehouses in the middle of the woods.

Amazing Spaces: Shed of the Year' is a celebration of one of the symbols of British eccentricity: the humble garden shed, a hallowed land of splendid isolation in nature, and often an arena for creativity. The competitors have all expanded the limits what a shed can be, and what they can be used for. George Clarke pays a visit to the entrants, and has seen recreations of the Millennium Falcon, a museum for antique lawnmowers, and a travelling shed that can reach 80mph. The finalists are the top four sheds entered into each of the eight categories which include Eco, Unexpected, Pub & Entertainment, Workshop & Studio, Unique, Cabin & Summerhouse, Historical and Budget.

Architect George Clarke is on a mission to find inspiration for his outrageous, space-age concept house. His journey takes him around the world to meet the visionary people who build and live in some of the most unusual homes ever seen.
