He's been at the top of our webchat wish list for too long, so we're v excited to announce that we'll be joined next Monday (20th June) by Kevin McCloud who'll be answering your questions between 1 and 2 pm.

Designer, property developer, writer, eco-campaigner and television presenter, Kevin is best known for the Channel 4 series, Grand Designs. Kevin has a strong interest in sustainable building and his company Hab Housing's core aim is to construct beautiful, environmentally friendly housing. He's joining us in his role as ambassador for the Great British Refurb Campaign, which is committed to rallying the Government and business to help make every home in Britain as energy efficient as possible. The campaign is supported by Knauf Insulation, which has provided all the insulation products used in the campaign's eco-refurbishments to date.

Kevin is happy to answer questions on how you can green-up your home and eco-home design as well as chatting about his life as a campaigner, designer and broadcaster. So whilst we try to spruce up MNHQ, you put the date in your diaries to join us on the 20th. If you're not around at 1pm, please send your questions to Kevin in advance to this thread.

So Kevin is here and just settling in. Fyi we've got 5 pairs of tickets to Grand Designs Live in Birmingham (in October) to give away during this chat. All you have to do is ask a question for Kevin and mail us at [email protected] saying you'd like a ticket. (Winners to be drawn from our hat) Nb Kevin promises to meet the winners in person!!!

2 quick questions if you can squeeze them in:
What in your view is the best modern prefabricated house on the market (like the huff house, which seem nice but a bit ugly?)

Any advice of how to control echoey acoustics in a room with no curtains, carpets and stone floors?

Thanks!

Thanks so much to Kevin for joining us and cutting it fine to catch his train in order to answer a few extra questions. Great set of questions and Kevin enjoyed our spread so we think it was a huge success Grin. Thanks to all those who emailed us for the tickets and we're pleased to announce that ChaosTrulyReigns, Spirael, CountThalim, Madhairday and Gentleotter have each won a pair of tickets to the Grand Designs Live.

We'll be posting more about Grand Designs Live later today.
