A Grand Designs dream home was met with a nightmare end, suffering £200,000 worth of damage when it collapsed inwardly, an incident dismissed as 'lunacy' by the Channel 4 show's host Kevin McCloud.
Richard Hawkes, 49, and wife Sophie, 50, invested their ambitions into constructing their 'gravity defying' abode near Maidstone, Kent, only to witness disaster when an unsupported arch, showcasing the property, gave way which was reportedly composed merely of Plaster of Paris and a thin layer of tiles. Traditionally, such material is used for domed constructs; however, the pair were allegedly warned to avoid applying pressure on the segment during the development phase of this revolutionary design, the Mirror reports.
