IS YOUR home the best in the nation?
Hit BBC property show Scotland’s Home of the Year is looking for Glasgow houses to feature in the sixth series next year.
Filming starts next month, and the team is searching for outstanding homes which embody design, style and amazing architecture to take part.
It can a bijou bungalow, a grand conversion, a city pad or a rural escape, and if successful, your home could feature in the new series in 2024.
The fifth season begins on BBC One Scotland on May 15, with new judge Banjo Beale replacing lifestyle blogger Kate Spiers who is on maternity leave. It has just been announced that Banjo and Glasgow architect Danny Campbell will replace Kate and fellow original judge, architect and lecturer Michael Angus, in series six.
Danny, who studied architecture at Glasgow School of Art before founding his own architectural company in 2016 at the age of 25, said: “I’m thrilled. I’ve built my career on going in and out of homes and figuring out how they can be designed better; being invited to judge some of the most unique properties is the epitome of self-indulgence for me, and I hope the viewers can share in that excitement.
“I will bring my own disruptive views on architecture to the new series and will be looking for homes that are inventive with their flow and aren’t scared to challenge what a home can be. I’m sure that the new series will be even more surprising, gripping, uplifting and fun.”
Following his guest judge role, interior designer Banjo is delighted to take up the role permanently: “It was a highlight of my life to be a guest judge on Series 5 of such an iconic show," he said. "To get the call back to join the line-up as a regular, with Anna and Danny, well, that is just the pinnacle. I’m ready and raring to neb my way around Scotland and to my P6 teacher who told me I’d never make a career out of being nosey…look at me now.”
Kate and Michael, along with head judge Anna Campbell-Jones, have shared their opinions on more than 100 homes across the country over the last five years.
Kate said: “SHOTY has been a huge part of my life for the last five years and I’m so proud I was part of this TV phenomenon. After recently becoming a first time mum, I embraced the opportunity (between night feeds) to think about a new future and new challenges – it feels like the time is right for me to move on and bid a fond farewell.”
Michael said: “I’ve loved being part of a show which has grown in stature over the years and become must-see viewing with audiences. The forthcoming fifth series will be my last and I’m looking forward to being a LeCorbusier recliner judge in the future.”
