Channel 4’s four-part series will showcase shortlisted projects, with presenters offering access to contemporary homes across the UK
A new four-part series of Grand Designs: House of the Year will air on Channel 4 this autumn, following the RIBA’s annual search for the best new home in the UK. The programme showcases the homes shortlisted for the RIBA House of the Year 2025, with the winner set to be revealed in the final episode.
The series will be presented by Kevin McCloud alongside architects Damion Burrows and Natasha Huq.
McCloud said: “This series celebrates, as ever, a sparkling range of what’s possible in domestic architecture today. So, it’s a great privilege to be able to help uncover these gems of creative imagination.”
The homes featured are selected as part of RIBA’s national awards process.
RIBA president Muyiwa Oki said: “We are excited to once again be partnering with Grand Designs to present House of the Year.
“It will be a privilege to see these exceptional homes, designed by our members and rigorously judged by RIBA awards juries, return to our screens. High-quality residential architecture can have a transformational impact on its users, communities and the environment.”
Past recipients of the award include Six Columns by 31/44 Architects in 2024, Green House by Hayhurst & Co in 2023, and The Red House by David Kohn Architects in 2022.
Channel 4 had previously dropped Grand Designs: House of the Year in 2023, choosing not to recommission the series after it had aired annually since its 2015 launch. The series was reinstated in 2024.
House of the Year will be broadcast after the 2025 series of Grand Designs and will air on Channel 4 later this year.
