Grand Designs Sweden

Vissa hus är intressanta och det ger en en bra inblick i saker som kan gå fel med att bygga hus. Sedan tycker jag att Mark kan vara lite väl överdriven i sin dramaturgi...

I was lucky enough to see this show with a friend who had translated the subtitles into English.

Mark is a fantastic presenter who takes the time not just to show things happening, but to turn it into an explanation of why those things are happening and how it ties in to the rest of the project.

By doing this he gets his viewers more invested in the projects shown and therefore more engaged with the show itself.

You feel like you're not only watching an interesting show, but actually learning something interesting about architecture.

Adding this to the absolutely stunning visuals and locales of Sweden, interesting architecture norms that contrast with our own on the other side of the world, and the ticking clock that comes with each episode, anticipating if things complete on time make it an absolutely engaging watch.

I really wish the show was more available outside of Sweden, but have been enthralled by what I have seen.
