Piers Taylor and Caroline Quentin explore extraordinary homes built around the world. An airy fortress, a fluid home with Contemporary architecture, a new take on a tea plantation house and half buried in the riverbank. For all the work poured into the home, Mr. Brillhart said it’s the neighborhood of Spring Garden that he’ll miss most.

She is best known for her performances in the critically acclaimed ‘Men Behaving Badly’, ‘Kiss Me Kate’, ‘Blue Murder’, and ‘Life Begins’. Piers Taylor is a well renowned, award-winning architect, television presenter, academic, and the founder of Invisible Studios Architects. ‘The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes’ is a reality documentary series that first premiered on January 6, 2018, on BBC Two network.

A tree-filled riverfront community, Spring Garden is one of the last remaining single-family neighborhoods in the heart of the city. Draped in palm branches, the house disappears from the street—a kind of integration into the natural environment that also runs through most of the Brillharts’ professional work. “It’s like a sort of tea plantation house,” noted “World’s Most Extraordinary Homes” host Caroline Quentin, as she walked toward the shuttered box during an episode that aired in April 2018. After two seasons, fans are left wondering whether there will be a Season 2 of ‘The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes’. The house, which has only just been completed, is owned by Hany Boutros who commissioned his longtime friend Rene Gonzalez to build the stunning structure. Through the centre is a tower which contains a mezzanine living room and above is a glass walled studio with surrounding terraces and a studio workshop.

Presenter Caroline Quentin compares the overall effect to a 'hobbit house' from Lord of the Rings, or something out of a Hans Christian Anderson tale. For owners Nabuko Suma and Sachiko Fujioka run the property as a community centre and form of retirement home for the local community in Izukogen. The splayed pillars, which architects Kotaro Anzai and Lifestyle Koubou say represent a tree growing out of the ground, are bonded to the bedrock.

The show is full of breath-taking views, amazing architecture, stunning designs, truly extraordinary homes. The three modern houses are built near Mumbai, two of which are more in a rural setting. The exemplary Vega Cottage on the Vega island near the Arctic Circle is unlike any other cottages the hosts have ever seen. The season ends with Piers and Caroline visiting a mind-blowing J-House home in Israel, which is a palatial white house with supremely luxurious interiors.

They travel through the mountains, forests, beaches and wherever else they are required to, in order to experience some of the most amazing forms of architecture displayed in some of the most amazing houses. The hosts spend at least a day in those houses to learn the designs and architecture of the space better. Each episode is themed and named according to the houses' environments or location. To explore how the designs function both as works of architecture and as real houses, the hosts stay overnight, eat meals and spend time in the homes. ‘The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes’ Season 2 premiered on February 28, 2018, on BBC Two. The season was spread across 8 episodes and the last episode released on June 27, 2018.

‘When you do something that is different you are always going to get people saying "why doesn’t it look like something across the street?"' he added.

The building, which Piers said felt like 'almost being on board a ship', is a single rectangular simple open plan space set on 150sqm of land surrounded by trees. The Brillhart House is located in the old, relatively modest district of Spring Garden in Miami and was self-built by its owners, architects Jacob and Melissa Brillhart.

Miami’s Brillhart House, a piece of celebrated contemporary architecture that earned a place on the BBC’s “The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes” series, is selling for the first time, asking nearly $2 million. Even Piers and Caroline, who have seen and experienced already so much in their careers, get totally mesmerized each and every time, with the beauty of the houses they visit. The series, in its purest sense, is the perfect definition of aesthetics, and the show is meant for each and everyone without exception. Piers and Caroline arrive at an island in Norway by a speed boat and decide to stay for two days instead of one.

The entrance hall leads into a double height open plan living, dining and kitchen area. Adjacent is a covered courtyard and pool, around which sit three bedrooms and a pantry. The owners of a fourth property, which is often mistaken for a sleek yoga studio, reveal how the build initially upset neighbours who feared its ultra-modern style would jar with the traditional homes that surround it.

The adventurous four-bedroom house they are staying in is built on a footprint of just 100 square meters. Season 1 takes the audience through extraordinary homes built on mountains, forests, coasts, and underground. Can you imagine a house built from the wings and tail fins of a disused Boeing 747? A corridor separates the public and private spaces and leads to the kitchen, as well as linking to two verandas that offer extra living space. The living space is concealed behind a perforated masonry façade, in the form of two concrete blocks stacked on top of one another.

While in Arizona, Piers, and Caroline visit a house that has given a modern and innovative definition to a rammed earth house. The pine forest just outside Madrid might be quite ancient, but the contemporary house that is built right among the trees is anything but old-fashioned. Piers Taylor and Caroline Quentin roam around the world to find exquisite homes that are extraordinary examples of architecture and design. While Season 1 is based on the theme of geographical regions, Season 2 is all about different countries. Caroline is an English actress, television presenter, and property enthusiast.

You imagined a house built from wings and tail fins, now, imagine a house invisible to the naked eyes, yet visible when looked at closely. The 9 bedroom house is hidden by the green roof but still has an amazing sea view. The show follows Caroline Quentin and Piers Taylor as they explore, as the title says, some of the most extraordinary homes around the world.
