Synopsis
[edit]The documentary miniseries follows award-winning architect Piers Taylor and actress and property developer Caroline Quentin, who explore a range of architect-designed houses in both extreme locations around the world, and around various countries.
The first series focused on houses built in challenging surroundings, and how they were designed to respond to these environments. The second series focused on one country per episode, and traveled to different destinations in each nation.
Each episode is themed and named according to the houses' environments or location. To explore how the designs function both as works of architecture and as real houses, the hosts stay overnight, eat meals and spend time in the homes.[4][5]
