I have watched the repeat of this episode of Grand Design Australia. I am very sad to see this gross design be installed with no "nod" to the past. Modern architecture is fine but when it is allowed impose on our past and destroy elements of our heritage the term "criminal" comes to mind. Just my opinion!
