What’s going on with Grand Designs NZ?
New Zealand’s favourite architectural series is undergoing a transformation of its own.
On Tuesday, Chris Moller, architect and affable host of building series Grand Designs New Zealand, made the shock announcement that he was leaving the show. In a statement on the show’s Facebook page, Moller said that after six years it was time to “pass the batten” (classic building pun) and move on to new adventures.
“2020 was a crazy year for all of us,” Moller said, speaking with the same gentle honesty he uses to tell someone renovating a clifftop heritage villa that they won’t get building consent in three short weeks. “It has been a time of reckoning, a time to stop and reflect, to consider more deeply how we live on this miraculous planet. It’s a time to make important decisions in life about things that matter.”
