Building the Dream is a British television series produced by True North Productions and broadcast on More4 in which Architectural designer Charlie Luxton helps people build dream homes that are both amazing and affordable.
The programme has been presented by Charlie Luxton since it first aired in September 2013, and 40 episodes have been broadcast in four series.
Presented by architectural designer Charlie Luxton, this is a series about real people striving to attain amazing yet affordable homes. As part of the show Charlie analyzes the building plans and gives ideas and suggestions that help to enhance the design. For added inspiration and ideas there is the opportunity to meet another self-builder who's already built their dream home.
Projects must meet the following:
The aim for the self-build project is to finish in around 12 months for less cash than it would cost to buy that property on the market.
The properties featured in Building the Dream are hugely varied in style and design, from an ECO home [1] to a German Kit Home to a house for a chronic back pain sufferer, with a sunken garden and hot tub.
The show is similar in style to Kevin McCloud's Grand Designs, but whereas "Grand Designs" is for larger budgets, Building the Dream, by contrast, is Austerity Designs, by and for those of you who can nearly, but not quite, get on the desired rung of the property ladder"
Building the Dream has also been shown in Australia, New Zealand. and Canada.
