The chance to watch someone else buy, build and furnish their own
jaw-dropping house and move in within just one hour is reserved for
viewers of Channel 4’s Grand Designs.
Now an exhibition to celebrate the hit TV show is asking you, the
creative freelancer, to try and plan the same - admittedly not in 60
minutes but all from under one roof.
Thanks to FreelanceUK, you can attend the London-based event for free:
simply tell us the design development of the future that you think will
change Britain’s homes the most for a chance to win entry.
To win one of the three pairs of tickets we’ve got for Grand Designs
Live 2008, you must also tell us ‘why’ you think your vision of the
British home is sound.
“There are no definitively right and wrong answers we're just
interested in your thoughts,” a FreelanceUK spokeswoman said yesterday,
addressing readers.
“The best answers will be picked from the question…What design
developments will change the British home the most in the coming years
and why?”
Based on the programme fronted by design guru Kevin McCloud, Grand
Designs Live will put you in touch with him and over 500 exhibitors, as
well as experts in the field.
Visitors will also get access to six inspiring shows or mini master
classes - on grand building techniques, gardens, kitchens, interiors,
bathrooms and village design.
For budding designers, a series of daily lectures and discussions will
take place, focussing on must-know topics, including planning, ecology,
design and financing.
And for those already into their project, an information hub will give
the lowdown on building and architecture regulations, as well as the
golden rules, from planning to garden design.
An online forum to discuss all the activities and plug products
(1,000-plus will be exhibited) has already gone live to inspire
visitors to attend from May 3 to May 11 at London Excel .
To stand a chance of winning free tickets, simply e-mail
editor@freelanceuk.com by Friday April 18, stating the design
developments that will change the British home the most in the coming
years and why. Good luck and, oh, see you there!
