If you watched it, post your thoughts on what in my opinion is the best Grand Designs/best house I have every seen. If you didn't watch it, watch it and be prepared to jizz your pants.

I absolutely loved it, pretty much lost for words.

They've got the best view of London in the world.

I literally have no idea how much that building must be worth, is it even possible to put a price on it? Shard flats are fetching 50 million, so i'm gonna put tonight in at 30million at least.

I'm trying to figure out where the building is.  I'm looking at Strata Tower on Google Maps but can't find the water tower.

i think the best one i have seen was the guy who was the woodsman and built his house from what he harvested from the woods, it had a cruck frame and straw bales for walls, pretty awesome. the ones where they just throw loads of money at it dont really do it for me

i also don't think it was a very sympathetic design... no thought for environmental factors as far as i could tell, no thought for using recycled materials etc... its no wonder that it was built so quick

They didn't strike me as the sort of people that would care about that kind of thing.  To busy bumming each other in their 6 man bath!!
