Grand Designs New Zealand takes us into the heart of life's great unfolding human stories, where ordinary Kiwi families risk all to experiment.

We have the perfect mid-week dinner; Bolognese and garlic bread. Then Mark will be giving an old Irish classic a five star restaurant treatment - bacon and cabbage with parsley sauce. All followed by chicken kiev and spicy pork tacos.

In this series we follow 8 real estate agents who are selling a billion dollars' worth of property between them each year in New Zealand's most valuable real estate markets.

Sonja Formanek of Bezign Interiors unveils a stunning interior space. We meet Designer Craig Whitehead who explores the harmony between modern trends and timeless design features.
