Grand Designs Australia is an Australian spin-off of British TV series, Grand Designs. The show documents people who attempt to build a custom-designed house and the challenges they face. It is aired on The LifeStyle Channel and is hosted by architect, Peter Maddison.

The Australian edition follows its British lead and, generally, begins with Maddison meeting the individuals constructing a "unique" build; this is followed by a CAD (Computer Aided Design, produced by Our Vision) of the layout of the build. As the build progresses, Maddison visits the site to interview the build clients and will, occasionally, interview other persons relevant to the project such as architects and site managers. Finally, Maddison visits the site, at a planned end of the build and interviews the project clients on life in their new house (if completed) and the challenges they encountered in pursuing the project.

A two-part spin-off series titled Grand Designs Australia Revisited premiered on 15 April 2013. The series featured the Surry Hills Small House and the Clovelly Modular episodes.

The series has aired on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom.

Grand Designs Australia Live launched in Sydney in October 2011 and again in Melbourne in September 2012.
