A Home Revisited: Elinor Olisa’s Healthy Living Space Returns to Grand Designs

Seven years after its original broadcast, Channel 4's *Grand Designs* has returned to revisit the uniquely forward-thinking home of Elinor Olisa, Gallery Director at Degree Art. Built around the principle of creating a “healthy home,” the project was first celebrated for its innovative design, environmental sensitivity, and dedication to wellbeing. Now, with the cameras rolling once again, viewers are invited to see how the space — and the lives within it — have evolved.

What remains unchanged is Elinor’s thoughtful approach to how we live, and crucially, how art can transform not just a room, but an entire way of experiencing home.

From the outset, art was more than decoration — it was fundamental to the architecture of the space. Works were chosen not simply to complement interiors, but to create moments of meaning and reflection throughout. Whether viewed from a sunlit corner or through the kitchen window, each piece was placed with intention, becoming part of the emotional and aesthetic fabric of the house.

“Art has helped shape the way the house functions — inside and out,” says Elinor. “It brings character, calm, and a real sense of identity. I always say, a home isn’t truly finished until there’s art on the walls.”

The revisit captures how the house has grown with its inhabitants — from the evolving art collection to the spaces adapted for family life, wellness, and creativity. It’s also a testament to how good design and careful curation can age gracefully, remaining relevant and nurturing over time.

For those inspired by what they see on screen, Elinor and the team at Degree Art are on hand to help. Whether you’re starting your own collection or looking to bring a specific atmosphere to your space, **DM us** or get in touch for help sourcing similar works.
