Half Houses

Amateur designing competition. In the second round of this heat, the three remaining designers take on one of the most demanding rooms to redesign on a tight budget - the kitchen. They're each working in a Victorian half house in Walthamstow, north east London, where architectural historian Tom Dyckhoff looks at the story behind these early apartments and the family who built them.

Despite the bigger challenge of transforming a kitchen, our designers still have just 拢1,000 and a small team across just three days. One designer faces disaster when their kitchen units fall apart, putting them behind schedule and giving them and their team a huge amount of work to do. The second designer struggles with what should be the simple job of fitting a new floor. Meanwhile, the final designer is almost overwhelmed with spatial planning issues, after being asked to incorporate a lounge area to one end of the kitchen.

After such a difficult task, the judges must decide which two designers have the talent to go through to the next round, and which one will leave the competition.
