Grand Designs Australia: Series 7 Hosted by Peter Maddison, Grand Designs Australia tells the stories of new homes and the people who are building them. The series charts the in-depth process of elaborate design projects undertaken by self-builders - from the initial details of blueprints, to the long and often arduous task of turning the designs into a practical living space.
