Jamie Durie returns with Future House to tackle housing shortage

Jamie Durie's Future House returns for a second season exploring daring design solutions to Australia's housing shortage.

The award-winning designer is back with new episodes exploring structural relocations and design solutions. Season one proved homes could be built in weeks rather than months.

Durie says the show aims to cut through Australia's restrictive building rules. This season features Lismore artists Eden and Holly relocating a $40,000 flood-damaged heritage home to higher ground.

A couple is betting their savings on a shipping container home. A single mother is working with a non-profit to build stability for her family.

Durie is also building his own 3D-printed concrete home on his property near Byron Bay. He says this eliminates traditional formwork and reduces construction waste.

The second season of Jamie Durie's Future House premieres on Tuesday, at 8.30pm on Channel Nine and Nine Now.
