Episode 4 - Wales: The Isolated Cottage

First Aired: August. 07,2001

An isolated hilltop in the Brecon Beacons might seem an inhospitable place for a couple's first home. But Adrian and Corinna both grew up in the area, and the ruined farmhouse they chose to restore had been in Adrian's family for generations.

But the landscape was beautiful and they both felt they belonged there

A derelict woollen mill in a Yorkshire village may not say 'modernist' to everyone.

Inside, they would strip everything out and make a home of fluid spaces, based around an open-plan ground floor, an atrium and a galleried upper floor.
