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
