George Clarke journeys to a place where nature dictates the rhythm of daily life: Kawau Island in New Zealand. This is a community completely off the grid, a boat-lover’s paradise with no roads, where the tides determine everyone’s timetable. The challenge of building here is immense, requiring ingenuity and a true pioneering spirit.
From a stunning architecturally designed boathouse where the waves lap at the front door to a unique yurt perched on craggy cliffs, George discovers how residents have created their dream homes against the odds. What does it really take to build and live in a place so disconnected from the modern world, and what creative solutions are required when you are at the mercy of the elements?
George Clarke’s Homes in the Wild airs Thursday October 23, at 8:00 PM on Channel 4.
