Off-Grid Living, Kevin’s Burner Phone And Greg’s Favourite Ever Grand Designs Episode

Grand Designs: Deconstructed

Show Notes

Join Kevin McCloud, long-time presenter of Grand Designs, and Radio 1’s Greg James, full-time breakfast host and self-confessed superfan, as they cosy up to chat about the latest Grand Designs episode and all the big ideas behind it. This time, they’re heading to the wilds of Pembrokeshire, where Marcus and Abi are attempting something truly ambitious: building a stylish, off-grid family home in the middle of a 20-acre woodland, with just £100,000 and timber from the land itself.

Kevin and Greg unpack the grit, graft and sheer determination behind this unconventional build, reflect on what it says about the way we live now, and, as ever, answer listeners’ questions and share a few behind-the-scenes stories along the way.
