Grand Designs Transformations on ABC – The entertaining and inspiring new lifestyle series Grand Designs Transformations, is shaping up to become a firm ABC audience favourite, with over a million viewers embracing the first episode* since its launch on January 4th.
An entirely new format devised by Fremantle Media Australia, each episode of Grand Designs Transformations showcases two ambitious homeowners determined to turn their properties into the home of their dreams; be it through interior design, renovation or a landscaping makeover.
Throughout the series, hosts Professor of Architecture Anthony Burke and award-winning interior designer Yasmine Ghoniem are along for the ride, providing insight, expert advice, and the odd shoulder to cry on.
ABC Head of Screen Content Jennifer Collins says,
“I’ve been blown away by the creativity and commitment of the amazing homeowners featured on Grand Designs Transformations and I’m thrilled to see the show resonating so strongly with our audience. Congratulations to our partners at Fremantle for creating this wonderful new format with Australia being the first country to enjoy the new version. We also look forward to sharing a new series of the original Grand Designs Australia this year, cementing ABC as the home for lifestyle shows.”

The series seems to have been held over from 2022 for obvious reasons. It’s a turkey.
Squeezing 2 projects into a show simply means each is shallow.
Turning a bathroom reno into a show is a bit of a laugh, but when a single shows has 2 owners claiming to be designers who clearly have no idea what they are doing is a joke.
Living rooms where children cannot take drinks, food or crayons, disastrous almost random choices and so called designers wanderinga round building sites apparently surprised and confused by work being done is almost Sylvania Waters territory.
