I don't know, I just read the articles!
I doubt they did the work themselves, they're architects, it's their job to come up with expensive difficult to implement ideas then have a paddy when trades struggle to execute them ;)
Seriously though when Luke worked on our project he was very sensible. But yeah, no architects fees, obviously. For me it's been helpful because it's shown me ways we could save money on doing our place, such as Ikea kitchen (I think ours will be mostly Ikea with some dbr magic) and cheap tiles...
This article has more links to the exact stuff they used:

@fox when you say they "did" the "whole place" what do you mean? For example, £15k to buy all the furniture and fittings and wall and floor coverings would be good going, assuming they zero rated their own labour for installing everything?
The way I've written this probably looks passive aggressive. Apologies, I guess I feel that cost reporting is wishy washy without the substantiating detail. Also, I get that the point is that it looks real good and was relatively cheap. Appreciate that you may not have all the details!
