Grand Designs Australia S04E08 - Hunters Hill Textural

Married in 1987, Daniela and Niran have spent 25 years saving to build their dream home together. They're using the site of their old house - a battelaxe block in affluent, leafy Hunters Hill. Entry is via a long, narrow driveway, lined with trees deemed significant, so building access proves challenging and expensive. Daniela and Niran face both the challenges and the house design bravely, using a highly unusual mix of techniques and materials. Surrounded by traditional sandstone and federation homes, theirs will stand out for its fresh take on modernist architecture - one which combines their love of natural materials, organic textures and rectilinear architecture. It promises to be a fascinating marriage of styles.
