Can a house really heal? That’s the question Kevin McCloud explores in this Wednesday’s episode of “Grand Designs” on Channel 4. “South-West London Revisit” takes us back to a project from 2017, where Elinor and Born embarked on an ambitious build: a low-toxin, clean-aired home for their allergic and asthmatic children.
Seven years later, Kevin returns to see if the house has lived up to its promise. The original project was fraught with challenges, from difficult access to the unusual, submerged, shed-like structure. Elinor and Born opted for low-toxin materials and a powerful ventilation system to create a haven for their children, hoping to alleviate their health problems.
Has the house made a difference? “Grand Designs” revisits the family, examining the long-term impact of this innovative build. This episode goes beyond the bricks and mortar, exploring the connection between our homes and our well-being. It’s a must-watch for anyone interested in sustainable design and the power of architecture to improve lives. Tune in to Channel 4 this Wednesday, April 23rd at 9:00 PM GMT.
