| Summary |
"Barry Surtees, a successful property developer, his wife Julie and their teenage children live in a large comfortable house in Brighton's (UK) most affluent suburb. Barry, who grew up in an orphanage, is driven by a desire to create bigger and better for his family. He decides to build a four storey modern mansion, complete with pool, gym, artist's studio, fantasy bedroom and a Japanese roof garden. But as experienced as Barry is in the building trade, nothing quite prepares him for the pressure of building this monster of a house. During construction, Barry ends up having double hip replacement surgery, material prices escalate and the credit crunch puts pressure on Barry's spending power. Then to top it off, Barry suffers a heart attack and undergoes quintuple bypass surgery, at which point the entire project looks like it might go belly up. This is certainly one of the more challenging and dramatic projects featured on Grand Designs." -- website |
