Grand Designs

Grand Designs magazine is essential reading for anyone who is building, renovating, or improving their own home. In each issue you can expect to find 40+ pages of inspirational real homes complete with in-depth project details and exclusive tours of new TV houses. Up-to-date information allows you to stay abreast of the latest architecture, design and construction ideas and innovations. Practical project features include advice from industry experts on a wide range of challenges such as building on an awkward plot, overcoming a lack of light or space, or working with a tight budget. And, as designing a kitchen or bathroom is one of the most complex – and expensive – room transformations to tackle, every month you’ll find a project feature on each, along with beautiful real-life case studies.

10 Houses with small footprints • The ability to manipulate space in an inventive way is often the key to success when designing a home on a tiny site or for a tight budget. Slim gaps between buildings offer plenty of opportunities for creative thinking, as do restricted rural plots and unwanted garages. Often the resulting builds and layouts are unconventional – and ingenious.
