Grand Designs

I watched a recording of the "New" Grand Designs last night, and was amazed by that building in the shape of the Fibonacci Shell. Such complexity, but, I was concerned about the longevity of construction materials, and wondered about the future mortgageability of the dwelling, anyone else watch it?

Re: Grand Designs

I haven't seen that episode yet Spitty I recorded it.
Some of the creations are a bit odd and the materials used unorthodox .

I didn't see that episode but I am always impressed by the various house designs on the programme although I wouldn't want to live in any of them.
