#GrandDesigns this tosh about “airtight” “passive houses” seems to mean that fresh air and opened windows are so old fashioned. Even to save the planet sacrificing breathing fresh air seems a big price to pay.
When you open LinkedIn after being offline for a while and find out Kevin McCloud had visited your workplace! As avid #granddesigns fan I can’t believed I missed this!!!!
ruddy heck! And I thought three weeks to redo our kitchen was annoying and expensive.

Well worth a read!
I just wish that @channel4tv.bsky.social could get Kevin McCloud & his #GrandDesigns program to get more involved with promoting ASHPs, SolarPV & Battery Storage.
This is a dramatic black-and-white photograph of one of the grand ceremonial rooms inside Oslo’s Norwegian Town Hall. The room feels tall, solemn, and almost cathedral-like in its proportions. At the far end of the room are two very tall rectangular windows, standing side by side like glowing doorways. These windows are the brightest elements in the image. They pour daylight into the otherwise dark space, creating a strong contrast between light and shadow. Through the glass, you can faintly see the outside world: bare winter tree branches and the solid, geometric shape of an office building across the way. The light from outside is cool and silvery, and it floods inward, softly illuminating the floor and the edges of the furniture. It feels as though the windows are pulling the eye forward, inviting you out of the darkness and into the open air beyond. The light streaming in from the windows forms pale rectangles on the floor, gently outlining a long wooden table placed in the center of the room, with chairs arranged neatly around it. These chairs are dark and simple, but their edges catch the glow from the windows, making them stand out against the shadowed interior. Above, hanging from the high ceiling, are three large crystal chandeliers, stacked one behind the other along the center line of the room. They sparkle faintly, reflecting small points of light, but they are dim compared to the powerful daylight coming through the windows. The chandeliers seem to float like glowing pillars in the darkness overhead. Along both side walls are long benches and mural-covered walls. The murals are barely visible, absorbed into the shadows, which makes the bright windows feel even more dominant and alive. Overall, the image feels like a quiet, dignified hall where light enters from the outside world through the tall windows, cutting through the heavy, shadowed interior. Finally, our picture is finished with a white border frame.
Morning #BlueSky ☕️ The daylight tries to banish the darkness in this opulent scene. Have a glowing day friends 😌 #WindowsOnWednesday

Wow where is this house
#GrandDesigns
This #granddesigns is actually crazy
Sheesh. Who still says "water closet" these days? 😮 #granddesigns
Any #architects on here who would be keen to chat for a #GrandDesigns feature? Specifically someone who can share insight into why more people are 'building down' and converting cellars now to expand their homes #journorequest
E. Murder holes. Tick ✅ #granddesigns
#NowWatching #granddesigns "Castle".
A. Where TF do people get their money?
B. That's going to be hideous.
D. Unexpected pregnancy
C. Won't be finished. Wasted another hour of my life
If I don’t watch the lighthouse episode of #GrandDesigns described in this episode in the next 12 hours I am going to die
Finally catching up on the castle #granddesigns
A 3d view from Blender of a pathetic attempt to draw my house in 3D by Copilot.
Did you know you can use AI to make a 3D model out of 2D drawings? Well I didn't before and I still don't believe it.
This is my house apparently, once the loft conversion is done.
Calling #GrandDesigns now
I don’t get this #granddesigns obsession with 99.9% airtight houses. Don’t you want beautiful cross breezes and ventilation in this hot climate? 🤷🏻♂️
Finally watched the final episode of #GrandDesigns #Houseoftheyear and yep, I reckon the they picked the right one.
The #GrandDesigns Castle. Ye gods. Folly upon folly. As a municipal building it would be stunning. As a domestic building in that setting? No. Plus the HUBRIS.
Why is there such a vogue for walls that look like packing cases? Or people who think it never rains in this country?

#GrandDesigns
All that roof space, but precious little in the way of Solar PV.
Come on Kevin & #RIBA you can do better than that!
Thought Kevin McCloud & @channel4tv.bsky.social might save the best to last in this year’s RIBA #GrandDesigns #HouseOfTheYear & I think in the Sanei Hopkins Housestead they might’ve; 4 spectacular pavilions, I especially love the thatched roof on thinnest pink space frame & glass living room!
Open plan? Shove it up your arse.

#GrandDesigns
And only ‘north’ of $2million
🤦♀️ #GrandDesigns
A masterpiece? Watching #GrandDesigns Australia and it looks like a big ugly shed on Brisbane River. Spiders will enjoy living in all the gaps.
Not keen on fashion for trendy #GrandDesigns houses to have long flights of stairs with no bannisters/ balustrade or equivalent. Asking for accidents...
