 It's my feel good with the show The brand new season of Win A Home is kicking off tonight and you can find it on 3. Now this morning we have Simon Bray, CEO of Private Property joining us via Skype to talk about the involvement with this exciting new season. At this stage I have to just extend a warm welcome to Simon. It's great having you on the show. Tonight is the big night. Win A Home is back with its second season and it's going to be even better. Now last season was such a huge success. What are we looking forward to to seeing in this season? Last season was an incredible success probably more than we anticipated or expected at Private Property. We got to profile the incredible stained cities, see the development that's going on there in the north of Joberg, a really good story for South Africa in particular to see that kind of money coming out of the ground that much interest in property in the market so very very cool. We saw the design challenge obviously with the contestants, all the drama, all the challenges, the successes, the failures and ultimately Donald Winning which was which was really great and it's good to see what he's done since the win as well. We changed three lives of those contestants. I thought that was particularly special. I mean when I got to hand over the keys to that multi-million round department designed by Kim Hutton, I mean that was a special feeling. So we're looking forward to more of those special feelings this season. The show was half an hour last year. We managed to extend that to an hour long show this year so there's just that much more opportunity for drama and excitement and great design. That's what we're looking to see in the show. We're looking to see South Africans really flexing their design muscles, doing something interesting, making property the focus. It is exciting. I mean how will private property be involved? Yeah of course you know private property is South Africa's favorite property website showcases thousands of properties and estate agents, neighborhood insight, great market data on a daily basis on our website. So it makes sense to have that role in the show to be the expert voice in property and the marketing of property for the contestants. So we're looking to guide the contestants through what buyers and consumers in the property market are looking for, what type of spaces they can create that ultimately the market will adore. And that's really exciting personally for me because I'll get to be a judge on the show and I'll get to put my stamp of approval or disapproval on the designs each week. So looking forward to that. Well you just said it you will be a judge this season. What are some of the things that you will be looking out for? I mean what should we tell our contestants to be aware of? You know it's difficult to say this early on in the contest but I've got a couple of ideas already that could perhaps be tips for the designers to look out for. We definitely want to create spaces ultimately that are marketable, that are great spaces for people to live in because that's what property is all about. So we want livable spaces not just beautiful magazine covers or great pictures. They've got to be clever ideas about how people live in those beautiful properties. So one of the things we're looking at is space saving techniques. You know the idea of the big home in the South African context is slowly going out the window. The idea is smaller homes, you know easier to maintain, safer, secure. So we're looking for ways for people to conveniently save on space and energy conscious designs. I think that's becoming more and more critical in South Africa is this focus on energy efficiency and we're looking for designs that recognize that and bring that in a clever way. But I think the one thing I'm most interested in and I think what the property market is also most interested in is not just a number of higgledy-piggledy rooms but one concept that's been well executed, one plan that's obviously on display across the entire home or apartment. So we want to see it all hang together. We don't want to see a bunch of disconnected rooms. But of course you know this is early days so I'm interested to see what comes out of the mix there with the contestants. Well it is exciting and thank you so much Simon for joining us this morning. Whether it's your first apartment in the city, a trendy suburban townhouse, or that dream family home on a gulf estate, there's a home for everyone on private property.
