Grand Designs: House of the Year 2022 – Wednesday,

Channel 4, 9pm

Kevin Mccloud returns for another mosey around homes nominated for this year’s Royal Institute of British Architects House of the Year award. Mccloud doesn’t do all the heavylifting, he’s supported by a team of experts. In episode one, they visit five architectural wonders competing for a place on the shortlist. Nominees include: an eccentric pink beach house built to withstand fierce weather; a meticulously renovated 1960s household; a highly ambitious DIY eco-home; and a new-build that had major renovation on its

basement. This will provide tremendous comfort to all of us struggling through the cost-of-living crisis.

Approach with caution.
