Grand Designs Transformations on ABC – Stressful times mean many homeowners are seeking sanctuary in their own homes, creating spaces where they can retreat from the hustle and bustle of their busy lives. And they’re getting ambitious – looking far and wide for inspiration for their home transformations.
In Melbourne, professional footballer Katie and property consultant partner Olivia are going all out knocking down their little worker’s cottage to build a cool, multi-storey mid-century sanctuary. Every inch of their tiny suburban block is tailored for rest and relaxation, with a tiny, Perspex fronted pool, gymnasium in a cupboard and spa like facilities.
With a 13-metre-long pink marble kitchen island, a sunken loungeroom and a desert-styled garden on the roof top, it’s set to be an entertainer’s paradise! But how will a hot climate house fit in a cold climate city?
Also in Melbourne, Mark and Chris are also looking to create a restful oasis and plan to transform the backyard shed into a Japanese bathhouse.
But the project is dogged by endless delays and unforeseen problems which could either scuttle their plans or give them the time and inspiration to create an authentic and truly magical Japanese-styled bathhouse.

Only published three days late. Seriously whats the point.
I have been busy the last couple of days. The show is available on iview so there is still interest if someone reads the synopsis and then watches on iview. Rather than complain and moan all the time you are welcome to join TVC and do the highlights on time :)
Well I couldnt do any worse than you! How much will you pay me!
Very little but at least you won’t complain as much
How much is not much? Not interested in slave labour!
Why don’t you email me off the comments section? I am sure I can rustle up more than the $3 per day TV Blackbox was paying me for 40+ hours of work a week. Others there have to volunteer for ages before they even get a look in with money. I can do better than that.
Nah, reckon i rather stick with Media Spy where I actually have an audience.
No worries. Just to let you know, your comments will no longer be approved or deleted if its just stalking me. If you have something to add to the world of television or some constructive television news / comment that adds value then fine but if its constant whinging and just nit picking then you need to find yourself a site that thrives on that
Geez, I was literally the first person to leave a comment on this blog in 3 years and now your blocking me! So much for free speech. Typical!
Well you are not the only person that leaves comments so ‘literally’ that is not correct. Free Speech doesn’t give anyone the right to say whatever they like. That is why we have speech and discrimination laws. You are stalking me, whinging and complaining. If you have something constructive and related to television to add feel free to comment.
