The Restoration Man

After living in a bungalow for 25 years, Yorkshire couple Carol and Majid Nadry embark on an ambitious mid-life adventure: buying an empty brick water tower to turn into a five-story family home. As they fight to make the huge rusting water tank on top of the building into part of their home, they hit devastating legal problems which are a sobering lesson to anyone developing a property. Unexpected costs deliver crippling blows to their budget, but the couple refuse to give up on turning a faceless brick monolith into a one-off design. George encourages and advises Carol and Majid to see their daunting challenge through, and follows the seismic changes in architectural history that this building’s humble appearance belies.
