Summary
COI synopsis: In a crowded world we all have less room to move. Our programme looks at some new liberating ideas - and at the families whose lives are now a little freer. Forty-five ordinary families are taking part in an unusual housing experiment in London; with some help from the architect they’re designing the interior plan of their own house. A new construction system gives them the freedom to choose the exact position of walls and doors and to re-arrange them as the needs of the family change.
