Australia’s boldest and most daring home renovators return in the new series, risking their sanity and savings to reinvent worn, tired spaces.
Each episode follows two remarkable projects showcasing alterations and additions, big and small—from sustainably transforming existing spaces to adapting heritage buildings for contemporary living, and creating multi-generational, multi-purpose homes that keep families together.
Guiding them through the chaos are architectural expert Professor Anthony Burke and award-winning interior designer Yasmine Ghoniem.

Grand Designs: On 11 December 2025 in an online article written to accompany a Grand Designs episode, designer Morten Pedersen was incorrectly referred to as the project’s architect. Architect is a protected title in Australia, that can only be used by those holding specific registrations. Mr Pedersen’s role in the project is more accurately described as the building and construction designer. The online story has been corrected and the broadcast will be updated prior to any re-broadcast.
