Grand Designs New Zealand premise
Based on the original Grand Designs format, the New Zealand Grand Designs version follows the journey of those who take on the incredible challenge of constructing their dream home. Every episode, we’re introduced to different New Zealanders as they join the show with their stories, as well as their ideas and aspirations when it comes to building their own home that is both unique and inspirational.
The process is usually taxing and progress can seem slow. Plus there’s the tricky part where they have to transform their plans into practical living spaces and also save money. Nonetheless, creative and enterprising Kiwis who want to fully experience building a bold architectural statement home welcome such an undertaking with the help of architect Chris Moller (architect Tom Webster from Season 7).
If you enjoy architecture shows and also love seeing the grand spectacle that is New Zealand, Grand Designs New Zealand is available to watch online in Australia.
