Private Notes
Architect George Clarke delves into the world of ingenious small builds, meeting people creating places to live, work and play in the most unlikely of places. Here he meets a couple who turned an old fire engine into a bar to raise money for firefighters' charities and a 23-year-old who built a shepherd's hut from scratch, including the nuts and bolts. George also visits an extraordinary home in Chile and Will Hardie builds a telescope.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang gets an extension on the Isle of Wight. Plus: a Moroccan oasis in the Cotswolds, and George seeks inspiration for his secret garden studio flat.
