Sunday 25 May
The word ‘iconic’ is thrown about readily these days but what does it mean for a house to be described as such, and how does it manifest in the building itself?
Sunday 29 June
What does it feel like to live in an iconic house? Does ‘growing up in architecture’ influence your perceptions of love, life and beauty?
Sunday 27 July
Designing and building an iconic home can only be achieved through the collaboration of a dynamic team who share an inspired creative goal.
Sunday 17 August
With Sydney’s real estate at an ever-increasing premium and the process of listing heritage homes becoming more difficult, the future of many iconic Australian houses is under serious threat.
