Ep 10. Kennington Revisit, 2012

In this episode of Grand Designs, season 12 episode 10, we revisit a unique property in the London borough of Kennington. Originally featured in season 10, the homeowners embarked on an ambitious project to create a spacious and stylish home within the confines of a narrow railway arch.

The property boasts three floors, with an open plan living area on the ground floor and bedrooms and bathrooms above. The architects, who also happened to be the homeowners, incorporated cutting edge design elements such as exposed steel beams, concrete flooring, and a glass facade.

However, the original episode left viewers with many questions about the final outcome of the property. Did the homeowners successfully create a functional and comfortable home in such an unusual space? Did the design elements hold up over time, or did they prove to be impractical?

Thankfully, this episode provides some answers. Viewers will be able to see how the homeowners have settled into their unique property and how they've modified the space to better suit their needs. They've added artwork and furnishings that complement the industrial design elements, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Additionally, viewers will get to see how the original design choices have held up over time. Has the concrete flooring proven to be a durable and practical option? Are the steel beams and glass facade still in good condition? These questions, and more, are explored in detail throughout the episode.

As always, host Kevin McCloud provides thoughtful commentary and insight into the design process. He speaks with the homeowners about their decisions and the challenges they faced along the way. He also offers his expert opinion on the final outcome, discussing what works and what doesn't in the context of the overall design.

Overall, this episode of Grand Designs offers an in-depth look at a unique property and the homeowners who created it. Whether you're interested in architecture, design, or simply enjoy watching people pursue their dreams, this episode is sure to entertain and inspire.
