Grand Designs: House of the Year

S06E01 Houses That Take You by Surprise

In the opening episode, Kevin and his fellow hosts, architect Damion Burrows and design specialist Michelle Ogundehin, explore five stunning homes vying for a spot on the shortlist. They check out a water tower from the 1960s nestled in the countryside of Norfolk, a modern addition to a Victorian street in London, a stylish beach house adjacent to a bustling south coast boatyard, a 14th-century fortress in Cumbria featuring a dramatically modern interior, and a Georgian farmhouse that boasts a striking, futuristic extension.
