Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 09, 2016 10:00 am http://www.abc.net.au/tv/programs/streets-of-your-town/ This program aired on ABC last night and Episode 1 is available on iView. Episode 2 airs next week, Tuesday 8.30pm. The show is hosted by Tim Ross (as in Merrick & Rosso, former Triple J host). It explores the history of Australian residential architecture and design from the mid century through to today, and finds out what went wrong between the fantastic, thoughtfully-designed homes of the mid century modernist era, and the relatively poorly designed, boring, egotistical McMansions of today.

I was lucky enough to work on the design of some interior lighting refurbishments of a Harry Seidler office tower, and although that building was 30 years old, it has remained relevant and never gone out of fashion.
