When it comes to building the family home in Canberra, IT engineer Damien Lederer wants it filled with every whizz-bang feature his hi-tech brain could create. Computer controlled blinds, clear to opaque glass, a two storey helical glass staircase and a custom designed air-powered laundry chute are all on the table. As well as a house that could think for itself, Damien wanted to fuse green building materials with commercial elements to create a zero carbon house - not an easy task when you're wanting all the latest wizardry and comforts; it's hard to wrap it all up in a strictly green philosophy.

Retired chef Phillip Murphy lives in a quirky cluster of disconnected buildings in the picturesque town of Stanley in Tasmania. His bedroom and bathroom are in an old woodshed. His kitchen and lookout are in an 1870s heritage-listed windmill a few metres away. For six years, Phillip has rattled between the two, but he's had enough. Now he's engaged his friend and architect, Greg Prentice, to design a house that will link the three small historic structures (including a decrepit rocket-shaped outhouse) into a contemporary, cohesive whole. The new building will be a direct contrast to the old, using modern materials, lots of glass and a cantilevered lounge oriented towards the spectacular view. As the property is directly below a volcanic plug called The Nut, the exterior will be clad in dark stained ply, reflecting the colours of the location.

The first time Brendan Moran saw his North Bondi block, it was so steep and inaccessible he didn't bother getting out of the car. But wife Penny was undeterred. She saw the potential in the awkward L-shaped battle-axe block. Despite being hemmed in on all sides by surrounding houses and with just one skinny lane way in, they reckoned they could squeeze all they needed for them and their four kids on this block by simply going up. Four levels should do it, rising 14m in the air with an infinity edge pool and they're pushing building regulations to get it all in. But excavating this ex-quarry is more complicated than they think. In fact every stage of the build is hampered by the challenges of the block. Its so tight there's nowhere for the tradies to put anything, and keeping peace with the neighbours is a full time job. With builder and mentor Martin at the helm, Penny dons the work boots and hard hat, and gets on the tools. Her passion is building and she's all over the intricacies of the build as she juggles her life as a tradie with being a mum. After a family holiday to Thailand, she and Brendan return refreshed and inspired to make substantial structural changes they say will make their house even better. From changing the entire entrance to lifting ceiling heights and redesigning the pool to make it even longer and deeper, the complexity of this construction would challenge even the most seasoned builders. After numerous council applications and changes that blow their bank balance, and schedule, right out of the water, their spontaneous decision-making threatens to spiral out of control. As costs soar into the millions, there's no guarantee how or when this multi-tiered tower will ever get done.

This is an absolute stand out in terms of its originality - incorporating a complete lifestyle sea change that revolves around a massive fibre glass shed, housing all the elements for a totally sustainable lifestyle, like animals and home grown veggies. It also includes a stylish two-bedroom pad for Trace and Ronnen - a couple of perfectionists. Brisbane based architects Donovan Hill have helped the boys design this 100m-long shed which includes an office, loft, stable, animal pen and garden kitchen, surrounded by internal herb and vegetable gardens. The structure will be clad in clear and opaque fibreglass with shade cloth protecting the gardens. This is truly an incredibly unique project.

Young Queensland couple Doug and Yvette have lived in a shed on their idyllic 10 acre property in the Gold Coast hinterland for two years. Originally, they planned to build an architect-designed house from scratch, but the costs were too high. Not discouraged, they sought an alternative. On a whim, they bought a discarded 100-year-old Queenslander that they plan to move to their property - a journey that will cover 130 km with the old house split in two, precariously carried on separate trucks. Negotiating the winding lush hinterland is already proving to be a logistical challenge but they're determined to make it work. The house will be lifted off the ground with a whole new level constructed underneath, along with a large contemporary pavilion that will be joined to the house as an open-space living area.

With his own machinery and the assistance of family and neighbours, industrial designer Mike plans to build a large spotted gum-clad home on French Island (a low key National Park island near Philip Island which has more koalas than people) with huge exposed spotted gum trusses he will build in his shed and beautifully finished internal walls of dry stacked stone reminiscent of a lofty American ranch-style cabin. He will be transporting materials to the site via his 10-ton truck from the mainland onto a commuter barge. Adding to the challenge is the fact he's doing it all off-grid. This will be a hand-hewn house built from love of a most unusual location.

It's an emotional search for Veronica and Bryce this episode, with life-changing decisions, two challenging searches and a dramatic health scare. We're on the North Coast of NSW, looking for two homes among the rolling hills around Byron Bay. Bryce is helping Fiona and Ninian, a stressed-out professional couple from Sydney. They're desperate for the simpler things in life: slow, lazy days, a veggie patch and even a cow or two. Then there's Dave who wants to get away from his cows. This exhausted dairy farmer from Victoria is worried hard work is ruining his health. He needs Veronica's help to move to retirement and relaxation in Byron Bay, but the fears for his health prove well founded, with a dramatic twist that ups the urgency for David's new home and new life.
