Grand Designs Series 10

Grand Designs and design expert Kevin McCloud return in the this tenth series including 8 new ventures as well as celebrating 100 episodes with a truely momentus project.

This brand new series kicks off with a classic Grand Designs. Actor Sean Simons fell in love with Cloontykilla Castle when he played there as a boy. So much so that years later he bought it, with the idea of turning it into a spectacular, theatrical mock sixteenth century home – complete with grand baronial hall, luxury bedrooms, sweeping staircases, water spouting gargoyles, jacuzzis in the battlements and a huge recording studio in the basement. But would it prove to be a magnificent personal masterpiece, or a garish sub-Disneyesque disaster?

After borrowing an eye watering 1.2 million Euros, Sean launches into his project just as Ireland plunges into one of the worst economic recessions in history.

In the 100th episode couple Leigh and Graham will attempt to convert and extend a landmark 150 year old, 100 foot high, water tower right in the heart of central London. Grade II listed, but utterly derelict, with six foot thick walls and crowned with a huge steel tank - it’s an almighty task. And if restoring the tower isn’t challenging enough, Graham and Leigh also plan to build two additional contemporary structures at the base: a new lift shaft connected to the tower by a series of glass tunnels and a modern living space nicknamed the ‘Cube’. Altogether this cluster of buildings will create a four bedroom luxury home, over nine floors, crowned with a spectacular viewing room at the top of the tower. Housed inside the old giant cast iron tank, this room will offer 360 degree views across London.

The downside is that all this has to be done within a ludicrously tight schedule - as Graham and Leigh only have access to the land around the tower for 4 months.

Their solution is to throw money and people at the project and build as fast as they can. But straight away, the foundations cost thousands more than predicted. Conservation of the outside of the tower, deemed by English Heritage at risk of collapse, proves even more extensive than feared. With build costs hitting £35,000 a week, soon the budget crashes through the million pound mark and the deadline to complete this astonishing place is in serious jeopardy…

Grand Designs follows the structural, financial and emotional journeys of ambitious couples as they bravely embark on the adventure of a lifetime - building their own homes. Although not everything always goes to plan, these passionate and enthusiastic self-builders are always willing to discuss their design inspiration, structural plans and financial considerations as you watch their perfect home come to life.
