The Art Deco House, Guildford
Two pilots design and have built, a 21 st century large home but in the 1930s Art Deco style. They know what they would like on the outside, but had not thought through much of the inside. On a flight to Miami while working, they tour the Miami Beach area Art Deco buildings for inspiration and return to England armed with many ideas to include in their house. Kitchens in the 1930s were not very stylish and were kept out of sight in the back of homes. Our couple work with the cabinetmakers to make a beautiful kitchen with many curves in the style and using Walnut and Burr Maple. There is one feature that they had not planned on, but the builders said it had to be included, which is not in keeping with this Art Deco style.

Kelly and Masoko Neville build a straw bale insulated house on the Cambridgeshire Fens, which is the term applied to the flat area in the middle of East Anglia.

After 20 months Kevin McLoud revisits to find it 95% finished and it has many beautiful and unique facets like hand carved doors.
