About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like real-world projects, design ambition, and process-driven nonfiction in the spirit of Horizon; Not for you if homebuilding details and a slower factual format sound dry.
Pros: unusual home projects; elaborate builds; strong architectural focus | Cons: narrow subject matter; slow for some; little beyond building
