Grand Designs: Glasgow couple to bring 'slice of America' to city in new spin-off series

Glasgow will feature in a spin-off series of Grand Designs called Grand Designs: The Streets on Channel 4 on Wednesday evening.

Host Kevin McCloud will be meeting up with Glasgow-based Joanna and Ben, who are looking to transform a home in the city on a rather small budget.

The basic synopsis for the show reads: "The new series of Grand Designs: The Streets captures the spirit of community engendered by these impressive self-build streets, as the determination, resilience and ambition of the builders shines through, to create something extraordinary."

And on Wednesday's episode, the Glasgow synopsis reads: "Kevin meets Joanna and Ben, who are channelling all their ingenuity to realise their vision of building an American ranch-style house in a gritty part of Glasgow on a tight budget."

The Glasgow City Council gave this series the green light in order to give families the opportunity to better their home life and the outlook of the city.

In the episode, Kevin will also meet other families looking to upgrade their homes in Glasgow, as "Glasgow City Council have given six families an opportunity to construct their wildest visions on a small plot located near the city centre."
