Grand Designs

Big dreams, big houses (AKA: Grand Designs ) is a documentary series that is produced in the UK by Talkback Thames for Channel 4 since 1999.

In each episode, an unusual private construction project is accompanied, presented by British designer and author Kevin McCloud.

The series can be seen in the German translation since 3 September 2006 DMAX at irregular intervals on Sunday morning.

It has only Season 5 to 7 and the spin-off " Abroad" were broadcast.

All the " Revisited " episodes, where an earlier project was revisited, however, have been not shown, even by those projects from Season 5 and " Abroad" who've been seen on DMAX.
