‘Clever and innovative use of virtual reality and graphics - an exciting watch’
Presenter Angela Scanlon assists families who have fallen out of love with their homes to find new inspiration in this revamped version of the interior renovation format.
Your Home Made Perfect is the only home makeover series that allows people to try before they buy with the use of VR technology, something described by one judge as a “revolutionary” method of bringing “scale, excitement and precision” to the redesign process.
In each episode, rival architects Laura Jane Clark and Robert Jamison go head-to-head using visual effects and photoreal virtual-reality technology to design and pitch bold and innovative alterations to contributors’ homes. One episode in the second series, for example, focuses on a couple attempting to redo their
Brighton bungalow. With planning restrictions putting serious restraints on their extension plans, both architects have to take a radical approach to redesigning their perfect space and reigniting their dream.
“The execution of the show matches the imagination, and it is a pleasure to view,” said one judge, while another praised the programme’s “clever and innovative use of virtual reality and graphics”, calling it “an exciting and heartwarming watch”.
