Airdate: 2021-Nov-17

Episode summary:

Kevin McCloud presents homes in the running for the 2021 Royal Institute of British Architects House of the Year. In the first programme, Kevin and his co-presenters, architect Damion Burrows and design expert Michelle Ogundehin, visit five breathtaking houses competing for a place on the shortlist - a 1960s- inspired water tower in rural Norfolk, a 21st-century addition to a Victorian London street, a sleek beach house beside a busy south coast boatyard, a 14th-century fortress in Cumbria with a radically contemporary interior and a Georgian farmhouse with an angular, space-age extension.
