Grand Designs

Kevin McCloud returns to the French Alps where Nicky and James Dobree turned a 300-year-old farmhouse into a luxurious eight-bedroomed chalet. Nothing like this had ever been built in the area before and Nicky struggled to get her French builders to do things the way she wanted, especially when it came to choosing the right wood for the chalet interior. To make matters worse, she was project managing the build from England.
