S01E04 The Water Tower, Coleshill, Amersham

Kevin McCloud heads to Amersham to meet a couple with a bold vision: constructing a home so discreet it all but vanishes into the landscape. Nestled against the earthen embankments of nearby reservoirs, their design aims to harmonize completely with the natural contours, making the structure nearly impossible to spot at first glance. It’s a project that blurs the line between architecture and environment, where the dwelling becomes an extension of the terrain itself.
