What lovely houses! V impressed - well done. Great use of such a compact space. PAss this on to the big developers - we all want properly built houses, not matchboxes. Does someone have a good recommendation for a local witch? I'm going to turn into a mouse so that I can come and live under Talisman's stairs (or should i say "sex on a stick").


P.S. I suspect that they say 'sth london' rather than giving away the location for 2 reasons: 1) to minimise 'property tourists' which may inconvenience neighbours, 2) to avoid complaints about pushing up prices as happens with e.g. Location Location when they feature a certain area.

I just watched the repeat and all I can say is...wow! Bill what a fantastic achievement. To be able to enjoy it knowing that you didn't compromise on what you wanted, and importantly, didn't compromise on your ethical commitment to a green building must make it all the sweeter.


Would love to take a peek if you do an open house!

Evening All.


Just watched the episode and was very impressed. As an architect it is great to see excellent use of an interesting plot, unique design which had not been compromised and the determination of a developer to achieve and deliver their vision. The use of cedar in such large quantities could have been over powering but with the careful balance of the massing and the clean lines have helped soften the impact. Anyways that's enough of the design critique. Well done to all involved. It's nice to see some modernity in East Dulwich.

We saw it last night as well. Building design is fantastic.. great to live in, no doubt; though I dunno if all the occupants of the overlooking houses would agree they're just as good to 'look at'.

I keep thinking of a toy fort birthday cake made for me when I was 5 - out of Cadbury's Fingers.

It was a great show and a fantastic achievement - well done to all - although I have to say I had hoped that the words "East" and "Dulwich" would at least pass through the Kevsters lips just once.


Or preferably a separate sequence of Kevin discovering the delights of Lordship Lane for himself - staggering out of Green and Blue, queuing for organic sausages from William Rose, giving a thumbs down sign outside Iceland etc. All speeded up and set to music of course for comic effect.

Hi all,


Saw GD by chance last week and kept saying to my other half this looks like East Dulwich. Ashamed to say I haven't even noticed the goings on despite living in Heber Road...


Anyway, thought it was a fantastic show and a fantastic achievement and would love to come on the tour (me + girlfriend).

Brilliant houses, amazing what was fit into such an ackward space. I've spoken to at least a dozen people this week who saw it and would love to go for a tour. MAybe small nos required but would be great talisman if you would do open house later this year. Word of warning though, friends in GD house in SE15 did it last year and were swamped. Hour long queues to get in!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
