Grand Designs Transformations

A little Melbourne workers' cottage gets a radical re-imagining as a Mid Century Palm Springs oasis, while across town a backyard shed is transformed into a Japanese bathhouse.

In Geelong Victoria, Luke and Bree restore a Victorian cottage and add on a massive contemporary extension, while in the historic Tasmanian village of Oatlands, Karen and Luke restore a sandstone Georgian cottage.

In two challenging transformations, a Melbourne couple turn a drab duplex into a spacious Miami-inspired home, while a NSW couple on a shoe-string budget create a tiny guest pavilion for visiting family and friends.

With two transformations on one site, builder Dylan tries to retrofit a draughty cottage into a fully sustainable home while landscape architect Tylah's plans for a garden oasis are battered with financial constraints.
