本集简介

When it comes to building the family home in Canberra, IT engineer Damien Lederer wants it filled with every whizz-bang feature his hi-tech brain can create.

Computer-controlled blinds, clear to opaque glass, a two-storey helical glass staircase and a custom-designed, air-powered laundry chute are all on the table. As well as a house that can think for itself, Damien wants to fuse green building materials with commercial elements to create a zero-carbon house, not an easy task when you're wanting all the latest wizardry and comforts. It's hard to wrap it all up in a strictly green philosophy.

Daylesford Long House, Vic

Retired chef Phillip Murphy lives in a quirky cluster of disconnected buildings in the picturesque town of Stanley in Tasmania. His bedroom and bathroom are in an old woodshed. His kitchen and lookout are in an 1870s heritage-listed windmill a few metres away.

For six years, Phillip has rattled between the two, but he's had enough. Now he's engaged his friend and architect, Greg Prentice, to design a house that will link the three small historic structures (including a decrepit rocket-shaped outhouse) into a contemporary, cohesive whole.

The new building will be a direct contrast to the old, using modern materials, lots of glass and a cantilevered lounge oriented towards the spectacular view. As the property is directly below a volcanic plug called The Nut, the exterior will be clad in dark stained ply, reflecting the colours of the location.

Architect Peter Maddison returns for his 7th series on Grand Designs Australia.

After a short break in 2016 the newest and biggest season of Grand Designs Australia returned to Lifestyle in 2017, with the first 9 episodes launched in April. Now we are kicking off 2018 with a bang with Season 7 part b – the 5 remaining Grand Designs that took a little extra time to achieve their out-of-this-world ideas. These 5 remaining episodes include a giant greenhouse enclosing a house, garden, stables and animal pens; a large spotted gum clad house built on an island amongst the koalas - that requires all material arrive via barge; a tech dream home with a two storey helical glass staircase; and last not be least, a heritage listed windmill.

The leading Australian architect joins our homeowners throughout the process of turning ideas into reality, as people use design and architectural ingenuity to create an environment that best reflects their personality and ideals.
