- Grand Designs Series 5 Episode 3 With Kevin McCloud.
BAFTA winning Grand Designs is widely recognised as the pre-eminent series on modern architecture and design in Britain. It was originally conceived as a documentary series presented by designer and writer Kevin McCloud that takes us into the heart of life’s great unfolding human stories, where ordinary families risk all to experiment with architecture, technology, and their own lifestyle.
Now in its 24h year, Grand Designs is one of Channel 4’s biggest returnable factual series and has grown into a global phenomenon, selling in over 100 territories. Apart from the TV series, the Grand Designs brand has also expanded to include books, a monthly magazine, architectural awards and a biannual exhibition, Grand Designs Live.
What a beautiful family. Congratulations on how well your hard work has paid off.
So extremely beautiful!! WOW! I know this is an old episode, but rocked my world in terms of sustainability and the Fin's dedication to sustainable forestry, manufacture and recycled insulation EVEN back then! Lessons to learn here years on
Normally on this show they build these unbelievably complicated and expensive houses with architect`s plans and steel frameworks and all kinds of headaches. Kevin condemns their decisions, problems arrive, money runs short, blah blah blah. Not here- they all work hard with a very affordable kit house, very few problems and they end up with a gorgeous house. And a very low loan payment in the end. I love this house and the family- they are all so happy and grateful for what they have, and they were able to build their own house and the kids will have that memory for the rest of their lives. Who could ask for more!
@19:02 "Let's pretend it never happened"
Me: The 1st reasonable builder in Grand Design!!!
because they are real people. not city people. with money they never worked for.
This house design the making it’s simplicity and also the time taken to build it considering all the above this is the best of all the house’s featured in your programs Kevin.
You should certainly share company’s details for benefit your viewers.
All the praises to the family and specially to the lady of the house. She is the strength behind John’s dedication.
What is the Finnish company? 🌲🌲🌲 would love their website.🌲🌲🌲
It's so nice to see sensibility, drive, dedication to decent goals, fortune, and DAMN GOOD CHOICES work out!
Yet another hard working man keeping it together and then bam, family house for his wife and children. Well done, great show and wonderful family.
Such lovely people, and such a shame they couldn't afford to rent somewhere, despite both of them working, until both his parents died. But what a lovely legacy. Beautiful house and amazing design. So well planned on all sides. Congratulations to the family and to the finnish company
This was my cousin that built this house, I love going to visit them in this house. It’s such a special place, cousin’s wife actually won the lottery, they are now multi millionaires but still live in this house and said no where could be better. Really proud of them
I'm proud of them too!! lol. and I don't know them
It runs in the family you can be proud of
Thiss build & episode brought me to tears. What a delight to see the levels of satisfaction and joy and gratitude on each persons face, including Kevin’s 😊
Kevin I followed your program for 15 Years, this house is my number 1 . Classy , simple, modeste & Eco friendly, I have lived in wiltshire for over 20 years and now I am back to my home country Morocco, I would love to build a similar house over here, Wish me a good luck :-)
Hello! If you like house like this , I think you will ike this video from my country - The Birth Of A Wooden House. Extended. Thats the name of the video.
This has to be up there as one of the best episodes of this show, from the house to the family, everything is fantastic. I'm sure they've had many years of happiness in this home.
one of the best episodes. amazing man, amazing builders, amazing family. well done
ahh wish you could upload all seasons! Love this series since i was a child, but never watch cable-tv anymore.
This makes me cry for joy!!!! The indomitable spirit of man and woman and children! Bless them all!!
Note to self. Before wrapping wood in black plastic, make a note of what's inside.
This is my favorite Grand Design episode. I love this family and what they went through to get to this place is just amazing. Beautiful home! And what a testament for your children. They’re blessed to have you as parents.
Привет от Сергея Филлипова из Финляндии за наводку на видео )
John was such a hard worker and Marni such a great provider. They make a good team
Great episode, thanks for uploading.
This is so beautiful! Do they have anything like this in America! I love this so much!!!
Absolutely loved watching this and after 2.5 years of living in a caravan that same feeling of pure excitement came back to me watching the progress. Also, what a lovely family. Well done, you deserve it!
Does anyone know the name of that beautiful piece of music that starts at 7:48?
What a beautiful home and family ❤
Oooh, this is very exciting for you. And for us.🎉
Please could you put the automatic legend next episode? greatings from Brazil
So groovy as an architect love the per-fabrication aspect..surprised nails still used.
love this one
Very very nice!
I love that her parents gave them the land to have his workshop and keep her close to her equine business and multi-generations close-knit for their children. But the warmest fuzzy is that his parents bequest will hug them close for as long as it stands. A woodworker with a woodhome. Money, time, and love well-spent. Bravo!
What a family to be proud of
After watching many, many Grand Designs house builds, I say this place needs more glass, concrete and steel. :)
"this is so cool, we have a house"
8:40 "The Finns manage their millions of acres of woodland sustainably" Well...depends on what you mean by sustainable. In some ways yes, but in some ways no, just look at that forest where he is treading as he says that line: It's not a 'natural' forest, it's an industrial tree field. Everything is artificially made, all man-planted and grown only for commercial use. All uniform species, no old trees for natural forest biodiversity. Just the absolute maximum amount of that certain tree species for profit. And unbelievably this is what most of Finland's massive forest landscape looks like: artificial commercial man-planted totally "unnatural" industrial tree farming.
Very good points.
But constantly replaced farmed trees are still adding massive amounts of oxygen to the atmosphere, as young tree growth does. Not much biodiversity in the thousands of acres of corn, soybeans, rice and wheat taking the place of old growth forest either, which do nothing for air quality or for mitigating temperature.
Where can one find all episodes of Grand designs. Can anybody please help.

wow ! top quality from an amazing man , hats off to you guv , you have done your family proud !
idk why the theme music is like some creepy Christmas song lol
🎉 In the time between this bill and now a days long building they are just improve the economic livability of such a house by putting also insulation in and framing inside or outside depending what you want to Installaties?? better
a great project
Quite a new tactic: making a huge percentage of the house into a hallway. But to each their own I guess...
There is a man, there is a woman.
Man building the house, woman earning to keep up the family.
Just a husband, just a wife.
No wokeism. No feminism.
Great accomplishment. They build a home.
Just had to drag woke and feminism into it, didn't you?
Funny hearing all that praise of how 'fast' it is erected, when a prefab concrete slab house structure that size would've been erected in one day by three men (plus half a day of seam work for two men, then later on half a day of removal of molds etc. for two men). It would've required a crane for the day though.
I don't mean to knock timber structures, just pointing out some benchmarks of other alternatives.
in the states, concrete work is so expensive that most people fall back on timber to save money. I just finished about 14 yards of cement. patios, upright form walls, and steps + huge driveway. Did all the work myself, with the cement truck driver just sitting in his truck all day. Reason to not hire, the bids were 48k for everything but the footing forms. which were about 18k I think. did it all myself in 4 days. with 2k worth of cement. and bought one new float.
