-Here's a 1970s split-level house -which became an architectural gem. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:25 | |
-Furniture designer Angela Gidden's -contemporary, minimalist loft. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:31 | |
-And finally, a Cardiff property -that's full of surprises. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
-Welcome to 04Wal. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
-Location, location, location. -That's the cliche. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
-What happens when you fall in love -with the location but not the house? | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
-You call architect Chris Loyn... | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-..and build a 21st century barn -around the shell of the old house. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
-This is the sight which greets you, -as you walk through the gate. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
-It's like a north Wales quarry wall. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
-It's almost as flat -as a snooker table. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
-It's wonderful... | 0:01:18 | 0:01:19 | |
-..but it's nothing, -compared to this side of the house! | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-What a breathtaking combination -of stone, wood and glass. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
-In time, -and courtesy of the weather... | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
-..it will blend into one -and become practically one colour. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
-The timber is already turning grey, -as you can see. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
-The stone is grey -and even the roof is grey. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
-In time, it will all be grey... | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
-..and it will sit at the top -of this hill, like a silver king. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
-The house, which is located -in south-east Wales... | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
-..won an award for its design -at the 2006 National Eisteddfod. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
-We moved in around 18 months ago. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
-The builders lived with us -for six months... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
-..so we're only just beginning -to grow into the place. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
-When we bought the house, -it was in good condition... | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
-..but it wasn't to our taste. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-It was in a stunning location -and that's what brought us here. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
-Its location. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
-It was a house which sat on top of -the hill, rather than in the hill. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
-We felt it stood out -for all the wrong reasons. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-We had a notion that a traditional, -agricultural building... | 0:02:57 | 0:03:02 | |
-..would have stood here - -a cowshed or a barn. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
-We thought that type of building... | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
-..would be better suited -to this rural landscape. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
-The architect was surprised -at the request... | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
-..to convert a house into a barn! | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
-It's usually the other way around! | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
-He was taken aback -and he saw it as a challenge. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
-What a magnificent space! | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
-What a welcome, as you step inside, -through the front door. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
-When you enter the building... | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
-..you get an idea of the size, -depth and location of this house. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
-It has umpteen windows. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
-The building looks like a barn -from the outside. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
-You don't see all the windows. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
-When the light shines through, you -can appreciate them, from within. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:10 | |
-Look at the stunning view! | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
-This is the lounge. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
-This house -combines the old and the new... | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
-..but there's precious little old -in this room. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
-There are echoes of the barn -which never existed, as it were... | 0:04:45 | 0:04:50 | |
-..in these frames in the roof, -painted to match the walls. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
-Nothing in this room could -compete with the breathtaking views. | 0:04:55 | 0:05:00 | |
-There's something wonderful -about nature... | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
-..and it's even better, -viewed through double glazing! | 0:05:04 | 0:05:09 | |
-This is the perfect room -to do just that. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
-Pah! Who says you should have -modern furniture in a modern house? | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
-If you have neutral walls... | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
-..old furniture which has a bit of -character looks great against them. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:39 | |
-The kitchen is through here. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
-This is the contemporary version -of the dining table. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
-The table and the chairs -are made of steel. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
-Over here, we have -this ultra, ultramodern kitchen. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-Clean lines. Black, white and grey. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-It has everything -but it's all concealed. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
-In this sea of contemporary design, -we meet our old friend, the Aga. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:08 | |
-Like every room, it offers you -a stunning view of the valley. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
-We chose a few modern pieces -of furniture... | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-..but traditional furniture looks -as good in a contemporary setting. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:26 | |
-In some ways, it looks more striking -in a modern house... | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
-..than it does -in a traditional setting. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
-I feel it's very, very important -to grow into the house... | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
-..and you acquire the furniture, -over a period of time. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
-You need time -to decide what suits the house... | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
-..and to discover how you'll -use the rooms of your house. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
-You should furnish your house -according to your needs. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
-The glory of living on a plot -of sloping land... | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
-..is the freedom to create -an interesting design... | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
-..on more than one level, naturally. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
-Down here, on the ground floor, -are the guest bedrooms... | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
-..and this lovely room, -with yet another great view. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
-I can't work out -how this room is utilized! | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-Is it a games room? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:30 | |
-This is the master bedroom. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-As we enter the room, -we pass a walk-in wardrobe. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
-It's very spacious. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
-The glass triangle above the door -gives it plenty of natural light. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:07 | |
-This is an en suite-ette! -Very dinky! | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
-It's a palace of marble and slate. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
-What a magnificent shower! | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-This is why they chose this -as their master bedroom - the view. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
-Look across the green fields -and the lovely trees... | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
-..we see England, in the distance. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
-It's raining in England! | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
-The main attractions of the house -are the light, the space... | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
-..and, first and foremost, -its location and views. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
-It would be criminal -to have small windows... | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
-..when you have views like these. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |

-The home of furniture designer -Angela Gidden... | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
-..is now -a contemporary, minimal space. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
-This building in Canton, Cardiff, -was once a cheese factory. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
-In the 1970s, one of the few Welsh -fashion successes was made here. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
-Gentlefolk Jeans. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
-Wow! You can see immediately -that this is steeped in history. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
-These huge beams -run across the building... | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
-..and the red bricks -hark back to its industrial past. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:20 | |
-It was indeed a factory -before it became a luxury home. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
-This glorious, natural wooden floor -sets the style of the whole house. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
-It's polished but not too shiny. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
-You can see its reflection -in the aluminium skirting. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
-The furniture sits low down. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
-Angela designed it all -and it was produced by her company. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
-There are also -some quirky, individual pieces here. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
-These polished, varnished logs -are works of art. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
-This whole room -is reminiscent of an art gallery. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
-Over in the far corner -is the kitchen. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
-It's very simple. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:00 | |
-Two islands, in effect - one for -cooking and one for washing up. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
-Everything is hidden away in -the cupboards which line this wall. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:10 | |
-While you're here, cooking dinner... | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
-..you can talk to your guests. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
-Within this perfect picture -of a kitchen... | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
-..the humble microwave -is literally placed on a pedestal! | 0:12:20 | 0:12:25 | |
-Unlike the open-plan ground floor... | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
-..the loft is defined -by walls and doors. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
-They've been clever enough -to find room for two bathrooms. | 0:12:55 | 0:13:00 | |
-This is the master bedroom. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
-The glass wall -gives us a view of the hall. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
-There's a simple bed, -in the centre of the room. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
-No matter how big or small it is, -a balcony makes any room special. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
-From here, you can look out -over the rooftops of Canton. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
-Mary Poppins would be proud! | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
-The houses of Cardiff were built -at roughly the same time... | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
-..and they tend to be similar, -both inside and out. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
-There are exceptions to every rule! | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
-When Thomas Williams -moved to this terraced house... | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
-..he didn't knock down walls -and create open spaces... | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
-..which is the popular -and trendy thing to do. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
-He embraced the house's personality -and used it as a starting point... | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
-..when he created a home for him -and his young family. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
-The surprising thing is the kitchen -is half way along the ground floor. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:34 | |
-I'd expect it to be at the back. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
-Many people have commented on it. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
-It was a conscious decision. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
-This was such a defined space... | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
-..and it was difficult -to find an alternative use for it. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
-That's why we opted for a small -but functional kitchen. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:55 | |
-We also decided to cut out a section -of wall, to create more space... | 0:15:55 | 0:16:00 | |
-..and to make it more of a part -of the house. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
-The kitchen -is important to most people. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
-It's the heart of the home. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
-It's certainly -at the heart of this house. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
-Some people are obsessed with the -urge to create spacious kitchens... | 0:16:16 | 0:16:21 | |
-..in order to combine it with -a lounge area and a dining area. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-You resisted that temptation. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
-Yes. I enjoy -having a separate dining room. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
-I'm someone who makes a real mess -when I cook! | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
-It's wonderful to have somewhere -where I can shut away the mess... | 0:16:39 | 0:16:44 | |
-..when I welcome dinner guests -to the house. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
-The window behind you -was an external one. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-Does that mean this wasn't always -part of the house? | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
-Yes, I think so. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | |
-Several people -have tried to unravel the mystery. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
-I feel there was -an external element to this kitchen. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
-There was a pantry in the corner -behind you... | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
-..and a staff entrance to my right. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
-It's a strange feature -within a house like this. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
-The advantage -of having the kitchen here... | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
-..is being able to use this room, -which includes a dining table... | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
-..as a second lounge. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
-Yes, that was the original plan. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-I think it works. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:54 | |
-You can close the door -on the mess in the kitchen... | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
-..and you can block out -the various food aromas. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
-Judging by the cot, I'd say -you spend a lot of time in here. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:07 | |
-The plan is to spend -more and more time in here. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
-It's a light and airy room -in summer. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
-In the winter, we'll light the fire -to create a cosy atmosphere. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
-It's been stripped, in essence. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
-There's no carpet on the floor -and the lights are in the ceiling. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
-It's a blend of traditional elements -that are a part of the house... | 0:18:31 | 0:18:36 | |
-..and a new, fresh approach. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
-I'm very fond of that combination -of old and new. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:44 | |
-As I enter the lounge, I feel -my feet sinking into the carpet. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
-It gives the room -a sumptuous quality. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
-This shade of green -is warm and homely. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
-It's perfect for exhibiting items -like that Kyffin Williams painting. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:23 | |
-There's a touch of green -in the sofa... | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
-..and a Castiglioni lamp, -anchored by a huge chunk of marble. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:32 | |
-This room is a combination -of old and new. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
-There are contemporary touches, -like this Eames chair... | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
-..but the original features -are also respected. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
-Next door, -the original tiles on the floor... | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
-..suggest to me it was a kitchen. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
-It will be a lounge to watch films, -when the sofa arrives. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
-There's a place for the traditional -in what is a very modern house. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
-Wow! | 0:20:26 | 0:20:27 | |
-I mentioned the similarity between -most Cardiff houses earlier... | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
-..and my theory has been disproved -twice in one property! | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
-As you can see from the ceiling, -you can't get much higher... | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
-..without sticking your head out -through the chimney! | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
-And yet, -here we find a luxury bathroom. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
-It contains a wonderful bath and a -shower with a head like a sunflower. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:55 | |
-At the far end, there's a -washing machine and a tumble dryer. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
-It makes sense to strip the beds -and pop the sheets in the machine. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
-This is my favourite room. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
-The middle upstairs room -has been turned into a nursery. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
-That suggests a change -in your circumstances, Thomas! | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
-Yes, these are exciting times. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
-We've been very fortunate -to have a baby girl. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
-She was born six weeks ago. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
-Haven't you had a career change too? | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
-Yes, I decided to take a break -from work. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
-I'd worked in the legal profession -for ten years. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
-I took a sabbatical -and went travelling. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
-I enjoyed it and, during that time, -I decided to try something new. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:08 | |
-I had previously -invested in property... | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
-..and I decided to focus -my attention on that, for a while. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
-My aim is to create a portfolio -for the future. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
-I believe that house prices -will continue to rise. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
-Increasing numbers of people will -rent, in the medium and long term. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:32 | |
-There's a market -for creating rental houses... | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
-..that tenants feel -are their own homes. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
-How much of the interior design -do you tackle yourself? | 0:22:41 | 0:22:46 | |
-I think it's very important. -I take on several aspects of it. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:51 | |
