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 17th 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 whole episode feels like a Monty Python skit or something from Fawlty Towers - hilarious
why! I can't unsee it now!
After seeing these first few episodes it’s kind of amazing to realize that the series kept going. 20 years later! But they have now grown a little wiser and usually don’t wind up airing an episode until the build is finished.
Yes, it's so frustrating not seeing the house finished!
Agreed, they did do four revisited episodes for the first season, you can find them online as well.
Found this show on Netflix but I was able to breeze through all the available episodes quite quickly.. very thankful I found these earlier episodes here on CZcams... I’m quite surprised at how young Kevin was on these earlier videos... I didn’t think the series have been running for that long (since 1998 or so?)...
It is on its 20th season, so yeah, about that!
I'm 5 mins in and I can tell you that you are crazy to employ your brother as the architect. He's a piece of work. You are going to have nothing but problems with him and it's so evident from the moment he opens his mouth.
Right? The smugness of that one...his sister of all people should know...🤦🏼♂️
@@RandyWillcox Absolutely! oh... it makes you wonder. What will it take?
"I don't like maths." Lol
@@itchyeyesmcrealize165 !!!!
It has to be costing more with his brother-in-law. I'm laughing so hard.
As much as I dislike the architect, I have to say that SO FAR, I like what the house looks as though it's going to be. I'm really curious to find the rest of it online and see the finished package. Someone said they saw it! (So it DOES get finished!!!!). I also have to say that I like the attitude of the 'Clients' and the free reign they believe in giving to the Architect; not being constantly on top of him and not being too worried about how long it takes. I LOVE what the husband says: "What's 6 weeks in an entire lifetime?" That is EXACTLY the right attitude to have. When you rush things, mistakes are made.
Never use family for any work, especially when the family member is an idiot.
Hahaha well said
Honestly couldn't believe what I was hearing (and neither could Kevin haha)... "It's easy to get units mixed up on a tape measure..." No wonder he doesn't 'get along' with the professional associations! He's one of those people who just breeze through life oblivious though...
Obviously they didn’t care about how this house will fit in its surroundings and the “architect” couldn’t care less about the outcome ... I would like to know if and how they finished that house
you are all wrong. you are negative people . you don't know the value of a architectural design. I think you are old fashion. If you see the final outcome you will be amazed.

That Colin's a cocky sod
Wow. What an episode!
Awwww. Baby Kevin
such a big house but narrow halls, everything in through the big windows
More like a Grand Disaster. The owner refusing to come clean on the real cost highlights they lost control through the build process. It is almost like the producers have forced the host to say nice things about the outcome of this design.
42:00 look at that hallway! Can't even square your shoulders for fear of hitting your arms on the walls
Oh I have seen the outcome of this home... I personally loved it. I love the whole facade. Very different look... and besides the hardship everyone went through, (owners and builders), I think it turned out beautiful. One of my favs in external appearance.
WHERE'S THE OUTCOME?? They FINISHED it???
Come on!!! Tell us where you saw it... 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
@@kricsi81 thank you so much🤗
I have been on google earth trying to find it. No luck. Would love to see it finished.
Your man's line of argumentation for the white render was the most unpersuasive I've heard. "It's lark the owld clitch-ay, ya do-oont judge a book bah its cuvva. Except ya do judge an house by how it looks". Well then it's bloody nothing like the old cliché ya spanner! 😂
So frustrating how hard it is to find complete episodes. This show has run 19 seasons or more. I found some on Netflix some on iTunes. But nowhere to just buy them all and watch them.
If you ever know were to buy them plis let me lnow
@@silviagallegos8972 All episodes on channel 4 uk
Having seen the finished house I think it is one of my favourites. A truly outstanding design that is so advanced that it would fit in anywhere at all and will still look great in 100 years and more. It just amazes me that the Doncaster planning department couldn’t see how amazing it would look!…..or does it?
good on Colin for getting the right engineer, but not having finished drawings is problematic.
What's this fake architect saying my clients and my buildings when he's already said this was the first actual building he's done. He's clearly living in some fantasy where he's actually good at what he does.
Don't bother showing an incomplete building you bins!! It's like film a holiday recording and stopping before take off!
Please upload season 2
Glass treads on the staircase? Slippery, not to mention dangerous. Tempered glass shatters rather easily if you hit the edge just the wrong way. This place reminds me of Flanders And Swann being "ever so contemporary at Number 7a". So much so they live at Number 7b in the house next door.
Seriously other commenter? The ex-architect is the best part of this build. That dry, understated, British sense of humor is sublime.
You read him all wrong mate.
I'm glad that we live in south africa, they cannot tell us what colour paint etc that we have to use on our house. Maybe if you live in an estate then they have control over you as you have to keep the look the same.
This architect sounds like an inconsiderate and irresponsible jerk. I furl sorry for the contractor.
Can you please upload season 2,3,4....everything!? :)
It would be great to see the finished home
its here czcams.com/video/a4Lkb0BKH9Y/video.html
I'm watching for the first time in 2024 and I guess the #GrandDesign only focuses on the designing aspects, but it's frustrating to not being able to see it finished
I'd fire the architect. Ist clue was the absence of accreditation.
So he built it with rezoning and future office space in mind ... clever cookie.
No entiendo ni pito, pero me encanta este programa lo ví en Netflix pero no está completo 😟
AMAZES me when l see stuff like this from England, so many times l see english people buy stuff elsewhere in Europe yet they left the EU, why? when they can't make so many things at home
Exactly, whenever i watch this show its always the same, old brit folks complaining about a house being different from red bricks hahaha. I get the idea of "conservation", but its insane to demand that everything needs to be static forever.
British architects are the best in the world you doughnut. Britain invented the modern world, the web, computers, literature, foorball, comedy, music, trains, graphine, telephone, rugby, crufts, modern medicine EVERYTHING plus won the war and built the greatest ever empire. The eu is a doomed pathetic fazzist empire that has caused the war in Ukraine
@@scialla2 Britain built the modern world. Without UK the world would be a slum
@@borisgulliver4970 haa haaa haaa you'; funny, l'll just ay and this sums all your ponts up, where did you 'recieve' the first call from? what percentage of world cups have you won?
Amazing
It would be nice if there was a follow up episode
You think that house got built?
@@andreaandrea6716 Thanks for that comment! I'm moving off to the next episode.
If you search online for Grand Designs Season 1 Episode 8 Revisited, Grand Designs did do a follow up visit about two years later and you can see the finished house. It looks pretty good, though the glass stairs would give me the heebie jeebies.
@@DamascSt Thank you! Love the inside. Looked really fab.
Thank you so much for the information i.e. "Grand Designs Season 1 Episode 8 Revisited" but I had to use Microsoft Edge browser, Chrome wouldn't work. Peter K.
Kevin so young!
He’s looking a lot younger there. 😉
Amazing that after 17 years! :-)
He was A LOT younger then!
I’m 27 minutes into this thing and I can’t stand that “architect”!!! I think the proper term for him is “wanker” - (Wanker: An arrogant or pretentious person). You can add supercilious to that. And the owner/builder is not far behind. I feel very sorry for the workmen who have to put up with the vacillations of this ineffective pair of friends. I know that all these episodes always end with the house finally being finished, but I hesitate to think of what is going to be left in the path of this (probably) cautionary tale.
Well, lover of punishment that I am, I’ll resume watching (much as one watches a horrible accident).
👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦
Hollywood style underground parking area, ha ha. We have lots of those in Canada.
It's not meant to be complimentary when it's described as Hollywood-ish. I promise you.
Kevin describes it as a "lozenge" but it's actually a gigantic coffin. Appalling! For once, the council planners were correct - as was the young builder who said something more in keeping with the surroundings would have been more appropriate
Can we see the finished home please?
czcams.com/video/a4Lkb0BKH9Y/video.html
I'd like to meet Colin; i understand his reasons for not renewing his memberships - same feeling in South Australia
drop me a line (if you can work out how to do it?) - CH
I was so hoping to enjoy this series, but after glancing at the various designs I realize that all they're doing is fucking up the beautiful British landscape.
They have over-capitalized horrendously by building this house where they have. Even if he tries to sell it as a "unique office building" one day, he's going to lose money.
Grand Designs Revisited Season 1 episode 9.... but I can’t find it anywhere, would love to see this finished. Looks promising though controversial
Yeah... I'll lay bets on that IT NEVER GOT FINISHED. What do YOU think?!
torrent it, there is a revisited for this one

it;s here but listed as episode 8 czcams.com/video/a4Lkb0BKH9Y/video.html
22:37 their attitudes on borrowing sound very dated now!
grand design build in mountain edison swiss please upload
this is best design
Dang, we are not going to see the finished product.
5 mins in, when we meet the 'architect', it's fairly evident in that first moment. His entire attitude is NOT one of working well with others. He is so UNprofessional and it is immediately apparent. Is his sister amnesiac? Surely there's a lifetime of evidence?
Its uploaded here czcams.com/video/a4Lkb0BKH9Y/video.html
...so how does the story end? Is there a part two epsode?
thanks
finished house czcams.com/video/a4Lkb0BKH9Y/video.html
I have never disliked someone who I don’t know but Collin!!!!
This “Non Architect”, “Brother in Law” is annoying, narcissistic and very out of touch with reality. He takes for granted how his actions impact the lives, money and functioning of others.
I can only hope that he’s grown and learnt from life 20 years later and gained some kind of self awareness. Bless the brother in law for putting up with Him. He had to hire the surveyor to buffer Collins inaccuracies because apparently he’s not fond of maths. My Goodness he’s exhausting
I also feel like he’s sisters also a little out of touch. *Shaking my head* are they still together
Brother stating he thinks, the new build, is in the wrong place- excuse no1 on the back burner already 🙄
Excuse me!!! Where can I get the complete episodes of this series but with subtitles in Spanish, or subtitles in English?
You can find two seasons available on Netflix in a legal way, otherwise you can use torrent, i'm sure some website have it
Субтитры нету......
The architect may be better suited to a job that does not involve interactions with people!
I knew this was going to be the stuffy guy who wouldn't say what it cost. Sometimes, it's just obvious.
Why is the audio quality so bad?
Just a bit too boosted, so that's it's slightly distorted :(
@@RudyAdrian "slightly"? You are far too kind, sir. My teeth ache after only a minute in.
Can’t decide who is more obnoxious, the brother-in-law non-architect or the couple who are building this house on a tremendously busy road next to a petrol station.
The petrol station is long gone.
It's as if they have a 'live in the office' fetish. Imagine building a home with "ghastly" bricks. doing dreadful things like increasing the lifespan of a building to over 100 years, when that lovely concrete and glass will probably mean a maximum 60 years life span.
Those red bricks are horrible glad they rendered their house.
God the local authorities are so backward.
also makes me wonder why they need to be more precise when its not square, they have to be just as precise when its square or it does't fit then either
Where's the rest of the episodes. And the budget😂😂😂😠😠😠
Check out the finished house here: books.google.hu/books?id=t4PuAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA40&lpg=PA40&dq=colin+harwood+architect&source=bl&ots=0jwzgBgQmN&sig=ACfU3U0HT7-pWqlbfLo6eirqU7wsFR3RPA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwik7YOB58npAhUjZxUIHXLcDWoQ6AEwDXoECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=colin%20harwood%20architect&f=false
Stressful to watch this.
Sorry one of the ugliest builds Ive seen on here
It is always interesting to see how negative people are.
Well this was a shitty house by shitty people, so.
Bloody hell ... another unfinished building, no unveiling at the end. Unsatisfying central.
Twenty years on I'll bet they never finished it and live somewhere else since the kids are adults now and who even knows if both parents are still alive.
the house is finished and you will be amaze to see it.
@@MarionJrMemeg-ew6oq where can I find it, as in video or pictures?
I drive past it fairly regularly, it's still there and finished. They've actually added another bit that is probably worthy of another GD episode.

@@ChocolateFrog not quite true - CH
yikes!!
:)
Why the hell isnt it the full episode.
It is the full episode. The house wasn't finished before they aired it.
@@nicoladoering5030 it is! I dont undrstand my comment from a year ago...
finished house czcams.com/video/a4Lkb0BKH9Y/video.html
The finished house revisited 2 years on is up here czcams.com/video/a4Lkb0BKH9Y/video.html
Awful design!
😂🤣😟
Long live brutalism.
And of course Hitler was born in Austria!
three minutes in and I'm gonna stop watching this one. What a pack of tossers. "i've got more money than taste and I think concrete and glass is modernist". Even pre-millenium this is not it. Going to skip to the end to see the incomplete piece of crap and find another episode.
yep, found the followup video, what a catastrophe. Like a shit version of Canberra
