A wheelchair accessible underground home in the Goobarragandra Hills as GRAND DESIGNS AUSTRALIA tonight on Foxtel

Multi award-winning architect Peter Maddison is back for a 10^th season of the 2021 AACTA Award-winning series for Best Lifestyle program, GRAND DESIGNS AUSTRALIA

This season is all about risk and reward, following the extraordinary lengths some brave souls will go in their quest to build some of Australia’s most remarkable homes. 

Travelling from the breath-taking Snowy Mountains of NSW to Tasmania’s Chain of Lagoons; the rolling green hills of Nimbin to the hustle and bustle of inner-city Melbourne, Peter Maddison meets with passionate and creative homeowners who have found unique and clever ways to create one of a kind, high performing homes in a time of soaring property prices, environmental extremes, and even personal tragedy.

EPISODE 1 – GOOBRAGANDRA, NSW

Trevor and wife Jeanette are looking to build a very special home close to nature in which Trevor can move about easily in his wheelchair. They plan to build a remarkable underground home overlooking their 1.5 kilometre river frontage on a 15-acre block in the Goobarragandra hills.

With Trevor as project manager the build gets underway, but as the months roll on his health starts to deteriorate, not only impacting how much time he can spend onsite, but whether he will be able to move to his underground retreat at all

Whether it’s a spectacular Mediterranean castle, a repurposed dairy shed, a spaceship-like domed house with the world’s best view, or a Mid Century glass box, this season of GRAND DESIGNS AUSTRALIA is the most daring yet.

GRAND DESIGNS AUSTRALIA is produced by Fremantle Australia exclusively for FOXTEL.

GRAND DESIGNS AUSTRALIA – premieres on Thursday, May 5 at 8.30pm AEST. Available to watch on LifeStyle and On Demand on FOXTEL
