The winners’ stands will be on show at Grand Designs Live London from 2nd – 10th May 2015. The judging panel included TV broadcaster and Live show host, Kevin McCloud; editor of Essential Kitchen & Bathroom Business magazine, Emma Hedges; acting editor of Grand Designs magazine, Sophie Vening and marketing director for Miele UK, Dominic Worsley.
