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.

This is the first house in this series that has kept to a tight building schedule and come in under budget. It was designed by a homeowner who's a savvy architect with extensive commercial real estate design experience. Add in a wife who, even though it's a new experience for her, keeps everything running smoothly and is respectful to the people she interacts with and this episode is a breath of fresh air. (Some episodes have homeowners who are so contentious and obnoxious that it makes the episodes uncomfortable to watch.)
Most of the homes on this series are bogged down by too many change orders, huge cost overruns and arrogant or inept homeowners who butt heads with their architects and project managers. The builds take twice as long as they were supposed to. Add in suppliers who aren't keeping to schedules and annoyed laborers who are fed up with the owners and it's a miracle that any of the homes have actually been finished with designs that end up working.
This is by far my absolute favorite episode. The young couple never appeared to be stressed. I wonder if that had anything to do with the workers willing to do favors for them. Quite honestly, I can only imagine that level of competence and also confidence could be perceived by others as an enviable trait. They truly believed in themselves and didn’t 2nd guess their decisions.
The house is stunning. They deserve to win an award not only for their design but also they delivered on time.
I hope they have lots of beautiful children to anchor them into the space, make it a HOME, and grow memories for the next generation.
👏👏👏👏
Never showed the finished grand stairway entrance!
Right!!! I wish we'd seen more of the architectural details.
the areas rugs are not to scale, and the carpet in the bedrooms were not installed properly (not pulled tight so it isn't laying flat). Congrats to them on being able to acquire the side lot. Once they finished the landscaping, adding a safety rail for the front balcony, etc. and other finishing details, it will be a hugely successful project.
Great team effort and high standards got this house to where it is. Hope they managed a good family life 18 years on
Why didn't they make the retaining walls from reinforced concrete? Block work seems a crazy solution
One of the best projects I have seen on this show. very nice design and a pleasure to watch a couple work together and get it done on time and budget instead of the usual nitwits one see fumbling around on this program
Almost twenty years on now. I wonder what it looks like and if they’re still there. It’s quite a place. I admire them for pulling it off at such a young age and for being so audacious in the best sense.
What a success story.
What a team.
Almost finished, but it is beautiful.
My wife and I design well together. When she has an idea and I don't like it, and when I have an idea and she doesn't like it, all it means is that we have to search more to find the third option. Avoids fights all the time!
Hope they shouted all those trades men and whoever were involved with this build .
When money is not in question but the location is 😂
Can’t imagine what this house is worth now if they built this thing for 350k. It’s got to be easily a million now, maybe more like 1.2.
Have to admire their teamwork and getting things done. But. Who would enjoy living in a concrete and glass showroom?
Really my dream home
I agree with you, that much concrete should be finded. But the organization and managing it like they did is admirable. Yet, IT IS a waste of space. You could build a comfortable home for a lot of people instead of only two. And that is a shame.
When money isn't a thing 😊
No subtitle or CC??? #youtube
How old is this?
Šteta da novih epizoda nema u Hrvatskoj
How can they have spent "only" 350K when the kitchen must have costed at least 80K?
It was in 2005. Materials and labour were a lot cheaper back then.
There's NO WAY. Maybe 350k for the excavation, even back in 2005. This episode screams BS.
Those bedrooms have no privacy..
No sound. Is muted.
(I got sound, although, even at full volume, it's not very loud. I wonder what happened?)
@@andreaandrea6716 I've had to wear earphones so I could hear it.
@@happydays1336 it's ridiculous!!
Its lovely yes,
They young and what an achievement,
But just for the two of them its rather huge,i think it was a dream which turned into an achievement,
Hope she has domestic help to clean,
On the up side if they battled financially they could sell and make a good profit or turn it into a B&B they have two dinning rooms and sitting rooms.
Good luck.
Nice job. Overly big houses do depress me however. All the resources for a dwelling required is nauseating to me.
no fakkin sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
pity about the environmental expense, which I imagine sits differently now. That's the problem with the grand modernist designs -- they have to be left in the 20th c.
Is the sound on this in mono? What the fuck?
Best comment.
What a fab house!!!!! Until interior design🤮🤮🤮🤮
yikes
Tasteless on a LARGE scale: so indulgent and sad for the environment, a testament to man's insatiable greed...
All for what... A view of the highway? 😅 Totally disconnected from any surrounding nature.
Not a book in sight. Figures
Honestly, they strike me as a couple who'd read a lot. It's a big house and had only just been finished that morning; I'd be willing to bet that they have bookcases full of good stuff and probably eBooks too.
They put the last window into the house yesterday it said. Didn’t notice that? They didn’t even have their real furniture in the house yet. They put a few pieces in to film the episode.
Sad, this is just another architect with visions of his own grandeur. It is a non building, ready to be demolished.
yeah, i just don't feel the wow factor in this design. it's bland and the repeated living and dining space configuration left me speechless and not in a good way
Do your grand designs on your island.
What an arrogant person!
