Grand Designs: The Streets returns for its third instalment for 2023, kicking off at 9pm on Tuesday 16 May on Channel 4. Hosted by self build champion Kevin McCloud, the series is spin of the one-off houses of the regular Grand Designs show, instead concentrating on mult-plot sites.
For Series 3, the show visits a new self and custom build site in York, while returning to previously visited ‘streets’ at Graven Hill in Bicester, and Mary Hill in Glasgow, the pilot scheme of the local council.
Grand Designs: The Streets follows people building with a far more realistic approach than the mega-houses that tend to feature in the main series, with real people building on real budgets.
In York, Kevin follows former schoolteacher Nicola as she project manages her brick build (below), while steelworker Mark and partner Maryellen (main picture) work on a Brazilian-style home on the same street.
In Glasgow, Natasha Huq catches up with the Glasgow project, where the last homes are going up. the final few homes go up.
