Coastal
The first stop on their coastal adventure takes Piers and Caroline to an island in Norway, arriving by speed boat for a two day stay in a four bedroom house built on a footprint of just 100 square meters. Built from timber covered with concrete to withstand the extremes of weather as well as the salty atmosphere, Piers and Caroline settle into this beautiful island escape with a swim followed by a barbeque.
Next is Southern Spain, to an unconventional home built into a steep cliff face overlooking the Mediterranean. Caroline and Piers meet the young architects who designed this truly extraordinary building, complete with a cantilevered terrace offering maximum sea views and a swimming pool as well as an unusual Gaudi-esque Zinc tiled roof.
Piers and Caroline head to the other side of the world to the northern tip of New Zealand's South Island in Marlborough Sounds. The three bedroom house is built from two separate wooden cladded structures: a living space with a large dining/kitchen area and the master bedroom, both held aloft by a series of hard wood timbers & linked by a glazed bridge corridor.
Their final stop is Nova Scotia in Canada, to a house inspired by two ships in dry dock. Jutting dramatically out onto the shore line, they are designated as individual living and sleeping areas. The steel structure is clad with a wooden shell and has glass throughout, the cantilevered trusses were designed to peer over the coast, allowing the sea to pass underneath.

The Repair Shop
The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.
Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.
Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.
The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
