| Summary |
Artists Freddie Robins and Ben Coode Adams are moving from one extreme to another as they leave their cramped two bedroom London flat to take on the conversion of a huge grade two listed timber-framed barn in the Essex countryside. But at seven times the size of an average three bedroom house, turning this 500-year-old building into any kind of home is a challenge.Transforming the home into a live/work space for themselves and their daughter Willa, Ben and Freddie's whole design is based around creating a massive free-form contemporary space with very few walls to display their ever expanding collection of toys and objects. As they begin to grapple with the sheer scale of this project they begin to question whether their quirky ideas are workable, and Kevin wonders if the cavernous barn will ever make a cosy and comfortable home.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Executive Producers: Charlie Bunce and Fiona Caldwell; Producer: Madeleine Hall; Director: Michael Ratcliffe |
