This
new build contemporary house was the centre piece and prize in the ITV television
series “Building The Dream” broadcast 3 times daily for 64 days during
April to July 2004. The construction of the house had 12 couples working on the construction, while
competing to win the house on completion. Angela Brady
was designer and a co-presenter of the programme for Zeal TV for ITV
The
house is designed to respond to the historic grain and development
pattern of the small Somerset village of Witham Friary. It
is a critique of current suburbanising trends in rural architecture
and seeks to extend the historic pattern of the village and
interpret traditional architecture in a contemporary way
