Grand Designs: The Streets on ABC and ABC iview S3E2 and S3E3 – Kevin McCloud follows more innovative and pioneering community projects across the British Isles and revisits the ambitious self-builds in Graven Hill and Glasgow with co-presenter Natasha Huq.
Episode Two
Tim is eagerly anticipating the next stage of his life, hoping to move from a small flat in Bicester into an epic, architecturally daring home at Graven Hill. A man of machines, Tim plans not only to build the first basement in the area, but to fully kit it out as a workshop to tinker with his collection of motorbikes.
With the help of his dad Michael, this project is meant to be an opportunity to spend quality time together away from work. But soon, the stresses of the build begin to ramp up. The 5-tonne car lift Tim has ordered from China arrives on site but does not fit into the specially prepared hole in the basement.
Also, in this episode we revisit Jitinder whose house remained unfinished when we last met him – thanks to problems with moisture and his resin floor. Kevin goes back to experience the full majesty of his Hollywood Hills-style home.
Episode Three
When Jane and Richard met and fell for each other, Jane revealed that she was building her own home as part of a fresh start, Richard was inspired and decided to do the same.
Following in Jane’s footsteps, Richard chose a plot three doors down on the same street. Jane’s plan is for a beautifully crafted home with an inviting high-end kitchen, while Richard’s design will be minimal, sleek with some special architectural moments. Both houses will provide a new life for the five children they have between them, but quite how they’ll live in them, they don’t know yet, and if things don’t work out, they might not want to live in them at all.
