It is now shown around the world along with spin-off series including Grand Designs: The Street and Grand Designs: House of the Year.

Kevin recently joined forces with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Mary Portas to challenge the government's commitment to climate change policies for Channel 4's The Great Climate Fight.

Kevin has written several books on design and champions sustainable development, context, the historic environment, and ecological construction. He studied History of Art and Architecture at Cambridge, is an Honorary Fellow of both the RIBA and the Society of Light and Lighting, a fellow of WWF and a recalcitrant patron of a handful of organizations. His two ambitions remain to entertain and to make the built environment better - and consequently 'make people feel better'.

He was awarded an MBE in 2014 for his services to architecture.
