Grand Designs Australia S04E07 - Ilford Sheep Station

Sydney doctors Meredith and Mathew Bayfield are building a new family homestead on their 1000-acre merino sheep station in Ilford, on the NSW central tablelands. They plan to spend half their time here. The new house will have two pavilions linked by a glass walkway, made from local and reclaimed materials and wool derived products like wool insulation. The house will sit on the highest, most exposed spot on their land and while this will afford them wonderful district views, it will also challenge them in unexpected ways. As will the design, which is reworked several times on the run.
