Imagine designing your dream home in the virtual world then turning it into a reality.

In this game-changing new property format Nick Grimshaw, and award-winning property expert Kunle Barker, harness the latest virtual reality technology - usually reserved for big budget movies - to solve real-life design dilemmas.

What is most radical – a tv first – is that homeowners will be able to walk around virtual designs, exploring the changing spaces in real time, and with no headsets.

In front of their eyes walls will come down, doorways and windows will move, extensions will spring up. They’ll be able to change wallpapers, floor finishes and kitchens surfaces in a flash.

When it comes to property formats. This takes it to a whole new level.

The line between what is real and what is virtual will be well and truly blurred!

Nick Grimshaw says: “Redesigning your own home is one of the biggest and most expensive decisions you’ll ever make. Being able to see how your home could look on the virtual reality stage is really exciting!”

Kunle Barker says: “My job is about helping people make the most of their Homes, and Project Home gives me an opportunity to help families stuck in design deadlock. The technology we use in the show is ground-breaking as it enables me to show homeowners exactly what my designs will look like in the real world. I genuinely think that once people see this tech in action everyone will want to use it as it’s the best way to make sure people get the homes they deserve.”

In this one hour episode Kent couple Scott and Caroline find themselves desperate to create their dream home, but unable to agree on almost anything.

To break their design deadlock Nick and Kunle immerse them in designs of their own invention, inviting them to walk around each others plans on one of the UK's most advanced virtual reality stages.

Scott favours a pared back, minimal aesthetic, whereas Caroline hopes for something altogether more cosy and homely.

Will they still love their ideas? What will they make of each others designs? And can they ever find a compromise?

Next it’s time for Nick and Kunle to reveal their perfect plan, combining Caroline and Scott’s best bits with some of their own ingenious ideas.

Scott and Caroline will be able to make immediate changes to what they see, swapping and changing elements until they are 100% happy.

Then back in the real world all that remains to be done is to build the home they are finally happy to call their own.

When Nick and Kunle return to the house in Hythe, Kent, how closely will the reality resemble the virtual reality?

Project Home is a playful and game-changing turn of the dial for the renovation show format and Scott and Caroline are the first to experience the magic.
