  3. Loved watching episodes of Grand Designs when they aired on Australian TV recently. Was particularly interested in the high tech bungalow with it's revolutionary heating and cooling systems. It's unfortunate the program finished without getting to see the final result of this amazing building. Any chance of a follow up visit to this house in a future series? John Drake. Fremantle, Western Australia.

  4. I would be very interested to understand more about the underground and roof based heating and cooling solution. The Rehau site seems to be focussed on the pipes and connectors but I would like to see a network diagram to understand the flows and equipment required.

  5. Grand Designs is one of the most imteresting and brightest programmes ever been on TV and Kevin McCloud does an excellent job in presenting it. We have just seen the last in the latest series here in Austrlia, which was the Hi-tech House ably built at Maidstone Kent I can't wait to see the latest photos with Bill & Jean in residence. The house design is fabulous, the efforts by Bill & Jean's Daughter in building it, was a wonder to behold. They deserve the highest accolade. Congratulations on a magnificent programme concept. Best Regards Brian Harper Brisbane Australia
