Skip to main content. Season 01 - Episode 10. The more you look at this home the more you love it. Designed by Rachel Neeson and the late Nick Murcutt, it is an exceptional example of how architecture can trigger memories. The client had grown up in the original home built by his grandfather and the architects approach was a masterstroke: Preserve the memory of the old house in the new. This Sandcastle stands as one of Sydney’s finest. Rachel Neeson and Nick Murcutt. Neeson Murcutt is a small architectur...

Skip to main content. Season 02 - Episode 02. It’s one of the most spectacular and popular sites in Sydney's eastern suburbs. For architect Chris Elliott, the location was the chance he'd been waiting for his entire career. But not even the most creative architect could ever have thought where Chris would draw his inspiration. The site is opposite Waverley Cemetery, one of Australia's oldest graveyards in which Chris managed to embrace the design possibilities. PHOTOGRAPHS @ RICHARD GLOVER 2012. Chris El...

Skip to main content. Season 02 - Episode 09. This is a no-frills sandcastle - yet one of the most powerful. This sandcastle shows what is still possible when you return to the basics. There are no great feats of engineering or fancy fittings or infinity pools, but a simple plan using a limited palette of basic building blocks, but - and here’s the rub - composed and constructed by those with an eye and knowledge of how powerful unadorned spaces can be. Still Photography - Suzi Ford.

Roof tiles keep the house well insulated and cap the entire hip roofed pavilions, including the main outdoor living area in the centre of the garden. My association with this project must be confessed. I grew up in Bondi and have been a member of the surf club most of my life. There is. Still Photography - Suzi Ford.

Skip to main content. Season 02 - Episode 03. The roof is a complex warping, twisting plane. At one end a simple modern skill-ion then starts to change along its ridge into a full-blown gable at the other end complete with red brick chimney. This southern facade is an architectural salute to the old 1840's captains cottage that it sits adjacent too. John Wardle has built a Sandcastle that magically combines the needs of the workers with his innate desire to create head turning architecture. PHOTOGRAPHY @...

Skip to main content. Season 01 - Episode 09. When Duke Kahanamoku paddled out and caught a wave at Freshwater beach nearly 100 years ago he started a surfing movement that has shaped our national identity. It’s still a pleasure to surf at this beach but it’s a privilege to live here and architects Ian Brewster and Larry Melocco have designed a classic example of beach architecture that does justice to this iconic place. The building uses a palette of concrete, hardwood, glass and copper left in their ra...

Skip to main content. Season 02 - Episode 06. Every great journey starts with one small step. On arrival your first impression is of a long timber clad blank wall. Is this some sought of arc? Or as Architect Mike Verdouw describes it, a 'timber fence' that has somehow graduated into a modern house. One of the other great features is a bath which hangs like an outrigger outside the line of the house. It suspends you in the landscape with no privacy issues, as the nearest neighbours are somewhere else ...

Skip to main content. Season 02 - Episode 05. Every house should have a sense of 'refuge' - that is inside you feel safe and protected from the world outside and that is balanced with sense of 'prospect' - that is you get to see from your place of refuge the world outside. The Ocean House is with its simple use of the circle and the square creates these two basic principles of house design. Check out this great Ocean House on the Great Ocean Road.
