Grand Designs: Deconstructed

Greg James will sit down with Grand Designs host, Kevin McCloud to ask the questions viewers most want answered. Together, they'll reflect on the episode and take a deeper look at the build, with an informal and engaging exchange that brings out the detail and decision-making behind each project.

In Stratford-upon-Avon, Piers and Emma assemble a giant 21st-century castle with a tower, castellations, a moat, arrow-slits, loggia courtyards and futuristic technology. At 1100 square metres, it's the biggest building ever featured on Grand Designs. The sheer scale and complexity, along with a budget soaring way past Piers and Emma's predicted £2.2 million, gives Greg and Kevin plenty to get their teeth into. 

This edition's build is a revisit to the Wirral peninsula for some industrial-chic bungalow gobbling. Back in 2015 Stuart and Rosie attempted to transform their small 1960s dormer bungalow into a generous 21st-century piece of slick architecture for just £175k. When Kevin last visited in 2016, he saw a very unfinished house, with the family camping between studwork and breezeblock walls.

Greg & Georgie's Sevenoaks safe haven was thwarted in 2019. After ongoing health concerns and the COVID pandemic, did they finally finish their barn?

And is it everything they dreamt it would be?
