TV's favourite architect, George Clarke, is the go-to guru for turning houses into dream homes on our screens.

He's back on with George Clarke's Building Home which sees him meet people who are taking on challenging huge builds for powerful emotional reasons from being drawn back to an area that they've always loved or a place with strong family memories, to taking on a house that's close to their heart.

The new four-part series airs at 9pm on Wednesday night (February 5) with married couple Chris and Ellie building a home in Lancashire's beautiful Ribble Valley.

Yet, when it comes to George Clarke's own digs, the Channel 4 celeb resides in a breathtaking West London property that he's personally revamped.

The restoration whizz, aged 50, nabbed a quintessential 1960s Notting Hill house in 2015 and has since transformed the expansive home. George gave his West London residence a complete makeover, choosing a contemporary yet elegant style peppered with eclectic touches that showcase his design prowess.

George lives in the property with his partner, opera singer Florence Hvorostovsky, and his children.

George's pad even has a bespoke office brimming with books. This special room, adorned with wood and fitted shelves, is packed with books, photographs, and architectural plans.

Discussing his passion for reading, George once revealed: "Books. Reading is one of my escapes. My daughter the other day said, 'Dad, you've got to get rid of some of your books'."

He chuckled: "You can't see my coffee table anymore because it's stacked, 10 books high, over the whole thing. If I carry on, soon I won't be able to see the TV!"

reports this stylish abode is the epitome of a designer's dream, complete with a secluded garden studio that serves as a serene retreat.

In a previous interview with the Daily Mail, George gushed about this hidden gem: "This studio, which I built in my garden after buying my house three years ago, is where I escape to read and write. It's so peaceful except for the rumble of the Tube going past, but I love that."

He also fondly compared his 1960s home to his childhood residence in Sunderland, albeit with a significantly higher price tag.

The garden studio's roof is cleverly camouflaged with faux grass, blending seamlessly into its surroundings, and features a skylight offering a glimpse of the sky above. While George is passionate about interior design, he has chosen to keep certain aspects of his home private.

He once told House Beautiful: "Your home is the most important piece of architecture in your life, the extended member of the family.

It affects how you socialise with your partner or kids and friends. It's also your retreat and your personal space."

George's affection for his home is evident, describing it as a lovingly refurbished 1960s residence in West London that exudes a sense of contemporary style and warmth. Inside his home, George has unveiled some prized luxury possessions, notably his cherished black Eames lounge chair and ottoman.

Speaking fondly of it, he shared: "I bought it about 20 years ago. It's in my living room and I never sit on it to watch TV. It's my reading chair. I'd always dreamt of having an original."

However, there are still some indulgences on his wish list, including a bespoke wine cellar. He confessed: "I'd love to have a wine cellar. It would have to be a proper, really cool, beautifully designed wine cellar. That would be awesome."
