      Congrats to Mr. France. I am curious to see how the place holds up in an Utah locale. I think it’s too bad that little to no effort was made to incorporate the surrounding area. So, am truly glad that the gardens will have some sense of the Utah history.
      And… that turf looks so real (though, it will need cleaning the way a rug is cleaned). A heated driveway… well, 😃. (One caveat: the colour🔥 of the front door😳.)

    Incoming honest review...This is funny to me as a Brit. These fake big Tudor houses are very common here and seen as pretty dated as they were common in the 80s. I am so surprised he chose this style. I know he's English but that's the very reason I'm surprised. Alot of the examples of Tudor they are showing are not Tudor! They are early 20th century revival and larger and dont have the wonky look which is whatmakes the tudor look. These are nicer than the 80s ones and often beautiful but not Tudor. He'll enjoy it that's the main thing but because he is involved with design , it's a bit disappointing.

    The decision to apply English Tudor skin onto McMansion bones in the foothills of SLC (already McMansion central), plant a high-water "english" garden in an arid desert climate, and go to every length possible to cosplay English countryside life in Utah is just laughably out of touch with reality. As a longtime resident of Utah living in SLC I'm disappointed but can't say I'm surprised--a simple drive through the mansion-spotted foothills of SLC proves the ethos of this build is not uncommon here. It's hilarious that despite the lengths it goes to reject everything about the local environment, this house ends up fitting in perfectly with every other gaudy palatial building on its hill.

    England has a lot of rain. Utah is a desert. Not one of those plants is actually native to Utah and most of them take a TON of water. That landscape is going to be terrible to maintain and take an enormous amount of a scarce resource.

      I think there are no fancy plants in the garden, it's mostly very resilient shrubs. It's just that the landscape surrounding the house is so bare, that the contrast between the garden and everything else is jarring.

    This was so incredible to watch. I am highly in support of creating character homes. In fact a dream of mine is if we could start mass producing character homes rather than the current mcmansion that's being produced. Even on a smaller scale of like 2-3 bedroom homes

      I’d say yes, because the builders were not historic builders and it’s got all these anachronisms like the French bay window with a metal roof dead center. The whole entryway just looks off. If you see even the reference of inspiration you can see that they simplified the truly Tudor details out. They’re not usually symmetrical like this.

    I recently visited one of London's oldest houses (Sutton House) which was originally built in the Elizabethan era, using local material, I think the brick was actually made on the property. And you could see when the different parts of the house was built by the pattern in the brickwork. I think the brickwork pattern they used on Fance's house is a style that came into fashion after the 17th century, so to make the house seem more "Tudor" they should maybe have chosen an older pattern

    Well congrats on making a slightly-more-cohesive-than-usual McMansion I guess. Internally cohesive that is, because obviously building a house enmeshed in and complimentary to the surrounding countryside was at the bottom of the list of priorities. Enjoy buying your way around water restrictions.
