This stylish 3-part series plugs straight into the zeitgeist by offering a wry window on an aspirational world of those living in cutting-edge contemporary homes. From Richard Rogers state-of-the art London home, to Future System’s futuristic space pod in Wales, to an eco-hut built from grass and mud - the series teases out their creators Utopian dreams. Millennial living uncovered.
The notion of the forward thinking city and the backward looking country has been one of the great divisions of our age. But times it seems are changing.

“Space, a new BBC series has lessons for us all. The camera work, production and interviewing style are all top drawer, and the editing is very witty.”
Jeff Howell’s article on the series in The Guardian
“The best contemporary architectural documentary-maker is Rebecca Frayn. Frayn cannot be hurried. Her programmes are precisely cut and polished gems, seemingly reverential yet shot through with fox-like cunning.”
Jonathan Glancey - The Guardian
“The outstanding architecture series.”
Kate Kellaway - The Observer
“This witty, beautifully made series.”
Karl French - Financial Times
“An elegant series.”
Joe Joseph - The Times
“Am I getting old, or is this week’s best TV programme really about modern architecture? Through some clever questioning and an atmospheric original score, Space encourages the viewer to make their own psychoanalysis of the people who created and live in them.”
