Grand Designs at 25 is the ultimate celebration of the greatest TV series on modern architecture and design in Britain. Featuring Kevin McCloud’s selection of the most game-changing constructions from the past 25 years, the book explores some of the most iconic – and challenging – builds ever seen on TV.
From eco-builds to luxurious constructions, Grand Designs has undeniably impacted the world of architecture and design. Showcasing the most ambitious builds and touching human dramas from the series, Kevin provides readers with his famously insightful commentary, emphasising the journey that Grand Designs and its fans have embarked on over the past 25 years.
Along the way, he offers a fascinating perspective on how home design has evolved to reflect contemporary lifestyles and highlights the significant legacy of this award-winning programme.
Don’t miss Grand Designs at 25, the essential collection of the most legendary builds from this perennially popular series, as chosen by Kevin McCloud himself.
Kevin McCloud is best known for the internationally acclaimed, Bafta award-winning series Grand Designs which has been running on Channel 4 for 25 years. It is now shown around the world along with spin-off series including Grand Designs: The Street and Grand Designs: House of the Year. Grand Designs has grown to encompass Grand Designs Magazine and live consumer event Grand Designs Live. Kevin recently joined forces with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Mary Portas to challenge the government’s commitment to climate change policies for Channel 4’s The Great Climate Fight. Kevin’s other TV work includes two series of Man-Made Home, Kevin’s Supersized Salvage and Kevin McCloud’s Escape To The Wild, as well as his four part Grand Tour of Europe. Kevin has written several books on design and champions sustainable development, context, the historic environment, and ecological construction. He studied History of Art and Architecture at Cambridge, is an Honorary Fellow of both the RIBA and the Society of Light and Lighting, a fellow of WWF and a recalcitrant patron of a handful of organisations. His two ambitions remain to entertain and to make the built environment better – and consequently ‘make people feel better’. He was awarded an MBE in 2014 for his services to architecture.
