George looks at some of his best builds by the sea, including a multifunctional beach hut in Bournemouth and a 21st-century update of a Victorian bathing machine in Margate.
George looks back across five series of Amazing Spaces and the incredible works of engineering people have achieved with their vehicles - from the scrap Learjet turned into a luxury garden studio to the restoration of the only surviving British mobile cinema truck. There is also the 1950s railway carriage converted into a three bedroom home and an incredibly stylish custom-designed Jeep transformed into a cocktail bar.
George Clarke looks back across five series of Amazing Spaces and some of the amazing houseboats people have built for the Great British waterways. There's a seaplane from World War Two transformed into a bachelor pad; a 1960s pleasure cruiser refurbished as a marital home; and a hand built custom designed writers retreat created in the shape of an egg. George also looks further afield to an amazing holiday apartment on a lake in Germany and a Danish waterside home kept afloat by polystyrene and water bottles.
As George Clarke completes his review of five years of Amazing Spaces, he reflects on the incredible things it's possible to build in the humble back garden: from a cliff-top stargazing retreat to a glorious garden room made from a derelict swimming pool, and the country's most multi-functional shed. George also looks back on his own garden build, where he and Will Hardie transformed his knackered old garage and unloved lawn into the ultimate garden family studio.
This time he focuses on how nature and architecture can work harmoniously together in the glorious world of cabins in the wild. There's a mountain-top ski lodge in Italy only accessible by helicopter; a hobbit-inspired cob house in Oxfordshire built for only ú150; and a concrete dome-home built under a man-made hill in a Texan hurricane valley. And George reflects on his own wilderness cabin that he built in the Sussex woodlands.
