Guido Heinz Frinken and interior design expert Tine Wittler visit a glass house in Berlin. As the name suggests, it is particularly impressive thanks to its large window fronts. The next house impresses the two of them with its long history - it has stood near Brandenburg since 1760. As befits an old manor house, it has a few surprises in store for the two design professionals. The third property takes Guido and Tine on the water instead of on land: a houseboat that offers everything you could wish for on 100 square meters. Three completely different living concepts, but only one can make it to the final.

For the big finale, Guido has two professionals at his side: interior stylist and designer Bruce Darnell and living expert Tine Wittler. Together, the jurors look back on all the weekly victories so far. And here they decide who deserves the overall victory. Who has what it takes to become “House of the Year”? Will it be a renovated monument with a lot of history and good use of old materials? A modern design object? Or one with a unique property? In the grand finale, all eight houses have the chance to win 10,000 euros.
