Jamie Durie’s New Eco-Home Journey Unveiled in "Growing Home"
Jamie Durie, the renowned Australian landscape designer and TV personality, is embarking on an exciting new project with his latest series Growing Home with Jamie Durie . This four-part documentary series, airing on Channel 7, follows Durie, his partner Ameka, and their young children as they take on the challenge of building a fully sustainable, off-grid home in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Premiering this Friday, the show promises to be a fascinating mix of eco-innovation, architectural creativity, and the realities of family life while navigating the construction world.
The series documents a two-year journey, offering viewers an inside look at the various aspects of building a home that is both environmentally responsible and energy efficient. Durie, known for his passion for sustainability and environmentalism, highlights cutting-edge techniques and materials, such as geothermal technology and emission-free fireplaces, that help reduce the home’s carbon footprint. He explains that the goal is to prove that building a sustainable home does not mean compromising on style or comfort, and hopes the show will inspire others to adopt similar practices in their own homes.
“This is the show I’ve always wanted to make,” Durie shared. “We worked hard for our dream, and although it's ambitious, the ideas we present are simple and cost-effective, making them accessible to anyone looking to build their own sustainable nest.”
However, the road to completing their dream home isn’t all smooth sailing. From discovering asbestos that halts construction to disputes with neighbors over development plans, the family faces numerous setbacks. These unexpected challenges raise the question of whether their 20-year vision will turn into a nightmare or triumph.

The first episode, titled The Mission , sets the tone by exploring the challenges Durie faces right from the start, including steep land gradients, design approvals, and the environmental aspects that complicate the building process. Yet, Durie’s optimism and determination shine through as he incorporates modern engineering feats and garden landscaping that transform the site into something truly special.
Produced by Rawkus Content, the team behind Backyard Blitz and Renovation Rescue , Growing Home promises to be not only a journey of construction but also one of personal growth and family milestones, as Jamie and Ameka welcome their second child during the filming.
