Prepare to embark on an inspiring journey of architectural restoration as the fifth series of Restoration Australia continues on ABC TV and ABC iview.
The show, hosted by the experienced Architecture Professor, Anthony Burke, showcases the resilience and commitment of restoration enthusiasts determined to breathe new life into Australia’s cherished old buildings.
In the fifth episode, we meet Jess and Krys, owners of a sustainability-oriented business in regional Victoria. Specialising in hand-crafted shoes and leather goods, they’re part of a creative group of artisans known as The Lost Trades.
With a shared vision and the support of their Lost Trades comrades, Jess and Krys undertake an ambitious project: converting a small timber remnant of the 19th-century gold rush into a comfortable family home. Their aim is to create a space that exemplifies hand-crafted quality, stylish design, and sympathetic functionality.
This captivating series takes viewers on a cross-country journey with Professor Burke, who delivers expert commentary, offers sage advice, and lends his support to building owners battling to restore their prized properties.
The episode is produced by Fremantle for ABC with Brooke Bayvel and Michael Collett as Executive Producers and Madeleine Hawcroft as ABC Executive Producer.
