Overview
For many the dream of having a bolt hole or a place to escape from their hectic lives can seem unobtainable. Architect George Clarke shows how such big dreams can be achieved in small and affordable places. George delves into the extraordinary world of small builds to meet the highly creative people who are taking tiny, unpromising spaces and creating the most incredible places to live and work and play. There are homes made out of shipping containers, horseboxes, and old buses. Others are building tiny huts or incredible treehouses in the middle of the woods.

Overview
George meets Ruth Tidd, who is attempting to turn an old caravan that was once used as a home for chickens into an ice cream parlour. He also follows the building of the country's first ever tree tent and is lucky enough to get to try it out, as well as getting the chance to visit some very unique offices built from four old tube carriages. Finally, he travels to Barcelona to take a closer look at the tiny studio flat that thinks it's a five room apartment. And on his own caravan build, George designs a sofa that doubles up as a bath.
