For many the dream of having a bolt hole or a place to escape from their hectic lives can seem unobtainable. Architect George Clarke shows how such big dreams can be achieved in small and affordable places. George delves into the extraordinary world of small builds to meet the highly creative people who are taking tiny, unpromising spaces and creating the most incredible places to live and work and play. There are homes made out of shipping containers, horseboxes, and old buses. Others are building tiny huts or incredible treehouses in the middle of the woods.

And George's own caravan build gets off to a shaky start as his builder fails to see the potential in this hulk of rusting metal from the 1970s.

George meets a teacher creating a bolt-hole in the Lake District by following an increasingly popular trend in the UK of buying his own plot of countryside and doing the building himself.

In Oxford, Bernard Fontannaz has lifted a 1971 airstream caravan into his back garden to create the ultimate party palace - and it doesn't break any planning laws.

George visits a canal boat that's been revamped as the ultimate bachelor pad as he prepares to unveil his deluxe family caravan.

  • 2018-01-11T20:00:00Z45m

The first episode visits a canal boat conversion in Dudley and a cattle trailer in Yorkshire being turned into a luxury holiday camper. There's also a dynamic, multi-coloured open plan space in Japan. And the idea of building a nostalgic toy treehouse is hatched.

This series proves that a small budget is no match for a big imagination. George meets an old friend in Norfolk who sees the potential in the most unpromising of spaces - an old sewage works. With no plans, no budget and just 'brute force and ignorance' - Reuben's audacious idea to create a unique chill out space for his family, including a self-supporting dome roof and a circular carp pond, could be the most incredible Amazing Space ever. George also travels over 5,000 miles exploring Japan. This week features a breathtaking chapel made of intertwining concrete ribbons, where bride and groom tie the knot in the heavens. In the Midlands, a father and daughter work together on salvaging a dilapidated childhood tree house with a budget of just £300. And George and Will continue building a giant toy tree house, and are inspired by a modern tree pavilion. They set about figuring out a way to bring George's impossible childhood fantasy to life using the most unlikely of vegetables.

George meets airline enthusiast Vince, who bought a cockpit from a passenger jet for a bargain £750. He's hired precision engineer Stu to transform it into a summerhouse. However, the two have never met, neither of them have even seen the cockpit and Vince isn't even sure if It'll fit in his garden. It could be facing a turbulent experience for everyone. Sometimes, the most incredible spaces are made with materials destined for the scrap yard. But for Scott, the humble scaffold board is an inspiration for an incredible indoor/outdoor space with moveable walls. George's journey through Japan continues and he visits a multi-coloured apartment in Tokyo. Every corner of the space, including the echo chamber and lunar landscape floor is designed to challenge the mind, the body and hopefully extend your life.
