ABC is celebrating the successful launch of its new lifestyle series, Grand Designs Transformations, which has swiftly become a favourite among viewers.
Since its premiere on January 4th, the show has garnered an impressive audience, with over a million viewers tuning in for the first episode.
The series, a brainchild of Fremantle Media Australia, introduces a novel format in the realm of home makeover shows. Each episode of Grand Designs Transformations focuses on two homeowners with a singular vision: to transform their properties into their dream homes. These transformations range from ambitious interior redesigns to complete renovation projects and even elaborate landscaping overhauls.
Guiding these homeowners through their journey are the esteemed Professor of Architecture Anthony Burke and the acclaimed interior designer Yasmine Ghoniem. They offer not only their expert advice and industry insights but also emotional support, often becoming a comforting presence in challenging moments.
Commenting on the show’s early success, Jennifer Collins, ABC’s Head of Screen Content, expressed her admiration for the participants’ creativity and dedication. She also praised the innovative format created by Fremantle, highlighting Australia’s role as the inaugural country to experience this new version of the show.
“I’ve been blown away by the creativity and commitment of the amazing homeowners featured on Grand Designs Transformations and I’m thrilled to see the show resonating so strongly with our audience.
Congratulations to our partners at Fremantle for creating this wonderful new format with Australia being the first country to enjoy the new version.
We also look forward to sharing a new series of the original Grand Designs Australia this year, cementing ABC as the home for lifestyle shows.”
Additionally, ABC has exciting plans for 2024, including the latest season of Restoration Australia and the eagerly awaited new series of Grand Designs Australia, both of which will feature Anthony Burke as the host. This lineup reinforces ABC‘s commitment to providing top-tier lifestyle content to its audience.
