Grand Designs: The Street Returning to Channel 4

Channel 4 has commissioned two new seasons of Grand Designs: The Street, produced by Naked West.

The new seasons of Grand Designs: The Street will follow a selection of adventurous self-builders as they create and build their own unique homes. Kevin McCloud is returning to host alongside new co-presenter Natasha Huq, an Edinburgh-based architect.

McCloud will head back to the U.K.’s largest mass self-build site, Graven Hill, Oxfordshire, to follow the future residents who are working to make their own, highly individual homes. It will also track the fortunes of several new pilot plots in Glasgow that are being developed into extraordinary homes.

The first series of Grand Designs: The Street aired in 2019.

McCloud said: “We witnessed the very beginnings of the Graven Hill site in the first series of The Street, and it was an honor to spend time alongside our ten plucky guinea pigs. Now we’re back to follow more projects as Britain’s largest self-build community really gets going. I’m also excited to be able to look at other pilot projects such as Glasgow in this series. Self-build and custom-build are here to stay, and at this rate, they’re going to make a big contribution to Britain’s housing supply.”

Ian Dunkley, commissioning editor for Channel 4, said: “Both new series of Grand Designs: The Street will capture the spirit of community that these incredible self-build streets engender, as the determination, resilience and ambition of the builders shines through, to create something extraordinary.”

John Comerford, head of Naked West, said: “Grand Designs has always been about more than just remarkable architecture, it’s about the people behind the projects, and 2019’s series of The Street showed us just what happens when you bring those people together in a community. We’re excited to be able to explore this concept further in not just one, but two new series.”
