The Terrace
S01E01 · The Terrace

The Queenslander
S01E02 · The Queenslander

From a suburban Brisbane residence to a Bundaberg sugar plantation, we explore the gradual adaptation to life in the tropics and the evolution of the iconic 'Queenslander'.

The Homestead
S01E03 · The Homestead

We look at one of the most romantic forms of Australian houses - the homestead. The initial impulse was to build "country homes" that replicated the fashions of England.

The Weekender
S01E04 · The Weekender

Jan 01, 2013

From the weekender's make-do origins, we see what many Aussies did with their leisure time - built and retreated to weekenders. From the tradition of bush carpentry to fibro beach homes.

The Federation House
S01E05 · The Federation House

The story of optimism and confidence that powered the movement to make Australia an independent nation. This national idealism was reflected in the assured, even showy architecture of the Federation house.

The Project House

Jan 01, 2013

We're shown how factory built project homes helped meet our intense demand for housing and to a degree reflected both the taste for 'modernity' and the preferences of the 'New Australians'.
