If you’re visiting the Zouk blog, chances are you’ve already heard of Grand Designs – the TV show where people are filmed building their very own ‘Grand Design’. Originally from the UK, Australia now has its own version of the show. In fact, Australia now also has its own version of Grand Designs Live – the architecture and interiors exhibition where you can go to get inspiration for your own home (or future home, if you fancy embarking on your own build!)

Grand Designs live is running until October 23rd at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, and if you’re lucky you might just spot Kevin McCloud from the UK edition of the show, or Peter Maddison from the Aussie equivalent. And if you’re really lucky, you might just spot some of the Zouk team there!

We’re looking forward to seeing some innovative new ideas for interior design and architecture, of which there should be plenty, due to their being over 250 exhibitors at the event. The event caters to almost anyone, whether you are building your own grand design or are simply redecorating your living room. Exhibitors from the construction industry will be there to give advice to those with bigger plans, and interior design experts will be there for those of you who are thinking about something a bit smaller.

Ecological building methods have not been forgotten, in fact, there will be a designer Eco Village right in the middle of the exhibition, showing you how you can design and build your own beautiful, eco-friendly home.

If the thought of embarking on your own grand design terrifies you, don’t worry. There will be plenty of presentations (including one from Mr McCloud himself) where you can listen to other people’s successes and failures, rather than having to worry about the logistics of doing your own. And if that gets too much, the Grand Designs Restaurant is just around the corner…
