Synopsis

A Home is a container of dreams, childhood memories and life experiences, a very personal place that reflects everything about you and your way of life. George Clarke's philosophy is that if the spaces in your home are reconfigured to work for you then the architecture can completely transform the way that you live. As an architect he has the ability to turn 'space' into 'home', something he has demonstrated on the very popular Home Show. The Home Bible is an essential recipe book, full of golden rules, top tips and inspiring examples gleaned from years of experience, to show you how, instead of moving house, you can realize the full potential of your current home.
