4 part lifestyle series Growing Home With Jamie Durie premieres this Friday on Seven.
Featuring Durie, his partner Ameka and children – three-year-old daughter Beau and 18-month-old son Nash – the series follows their journey as they build a new eco home with off-grid capability in Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
“This is the show I’ve always wanted to make,” Durie said. “We wanted to prove that you can build sustainably and responsibly without compromise. We have worked hard for our dream, and whilst it’s ambitious, there are simple and cost-effective ideas here that everyone can use in their own new nest.”

Filmed across the two-year build, the series brings viewers a fresh combination of stunning architecture, energy and cost-saving ideas, eco-innovation initiatives, home-building challenges, engineering feats, and garden extreme-scaping.
But with the discovery of asbestos shutting down the building site and disputes with neighbours over development plans, could a dream 20 years in the making turn into a nightmare?
Episode 1: The Mission
In Growing Home with Jamie Durie episode 1, Jamie Durie sets himself a simple mission, to build a ‘house without compromise’ that is kind to the planet. But simple it is not. Issues with neighbours, approvals, house design, asbestos and the steepness of the slope all take their toll. Jamie learns of Geothermal technology that uses the earth’s temperature to heat and cool the house; he finds an emission free fireplace, says goodbye to the current beach shack and partner Ameka brings a new Durie into the world.
Growing Home With Jamie Durie is produced by Rawkus Content (Backyard Blitz, Renovation Rescue, Costa’s Garden Odyssey, It’s a Knockout, Top Gear Australia).
8.30pm, Friday 25 October on Seven.
