First-of-its-kind Competition Reality Series "Designed to Last"
Begins Streaming May 5
At the intersection of home protection, innovation and entertainment, "Designed To Last" brings together architects, engineers, and inventors to tackle one of today's most urgent challenges: safeguarding homes against unpredictable and extreme real-world conditions.
Each of the four episodes focuses on a specific environmental threat - wind, water, snow/ice, and fire - highlighting vulnerabilities faced by homeowners across the country and exploring practical, forward-thinking ways for proactive structural protection and to prevent costly damage.
Hosted by Maria Menounos, the series follows three teams of architects, engineers, and inventors as they compete in 10-hour build challenges, modifying tiny homes to withstand specific environmental hazards.
Their work is guided and evaluated by award-winning contractor Eric Eremita and renowned designer Wendell Holland, who judge each design on resilience, craftsmanship, practicality, and creativity under real-world testing conditions. The winning team earns a $100,000 grant to further develop their innovation, helping turn ideas into tangible solutions that can make a lasting impact.
The series was executive produced by 3Ball Entertainment's Ross Weintraub, Reinout Oerlemans, and Matthew C. Allyn, alongside Claire Kosloff and Known's Mark Feldstein and Ross Martin. Supporting media plan developed by Infinite Roar, A Publicis Agency. Directed by Anna Moulaison, the series was created in partnership with
