When our magazine readers asked us for more information about green design, we decided to really bring it to life in an interactive web-TV show. Think of it as talkback radio — but you can watch and listen on the net. Click here to watch the trailer video.

We've created a series of web based videos so that you can hear about the latest trends in lightweight construction from the experts in the industry.

All of the episodes are available now, and on demand. All you need to do is visit the web page and click on the episode you want to view.

The videos are streaming from our website, so we suggest that you'll need to watch them with at least an ADSL or cable broadband connection. Your viewing experience will be reduced with either a dialup or a mobile 3G broadband card.

When the myLookHomeTV videos were originally created, they were live to the web, so viewers had an opportunity to send their questions in real time. As they are now available on demand, if you have any questions for the team or any of our experts, please email info@lookhome.com.au and we'll reply as quickly as we can.

Episode 1 - Designing for a changing climate

Hosted by Suzy Yates, this first episode set the scene for the Look Green Home Design Awards with a live interview with Archicentre Managing Director Robert Caulfield. Robert, who's also a LookHome™ awards judge, talked about the key things you need to know designing and building in a changing climate. He was joined in the studio by award entrant and builder Luke Van Dyck, who not only gave some renovating trade secrets but also answered viewers' questions on the live panel. In What's Hot in Focus we also interviewed architect Tone Wheeler about the award-winning E3 Logic home.

Episode 2 - Affordable housing

Hosted by Suzy Yates, this episode focuses on affordable housing. Australia's affordable housing crisis isn't new, but some of the solutions for solving it, are. Brett Blacklow, the designer of the Smarter Small Home™ that you may have seen featured on A Current Affair was live in the studio as was Craig Riddle, the builder behind Living Green Designer Homes. He shared some top Trade Secrets with us. We also took a close look at the award entry Alluvium House to find out the most affordable approach to building on a steeply sloping site and we found out about affordable housing projects on the drawing board with architect David Randerson from DKO. Brett and Craig were on the live panel to answer viewers' questions.

Episode 3 - Safe design

This month's episode focuses on Safe design. Suzy Yates interviews Archicentre Managing Director Robert Caulfield and fire consultant Paul England to find out how to design and build in bushfire zones. Caulfield also outlines the bushfire design concept service that Archicentre is running for the Victorian Building Commission and shares thoughts about designing for an aging population, based on the insights from the 4500 inspections Archicentre conducts each year for older people. In addition, in his capacity as the Kidsafe Victoria Vice President Caulfield discusses the common injuries children suffer in the home and how to better design homes with families in mind. Architect and entrant in the Look Green Home Design Awards, Scott Whiteoak, shares the design approach used on a home that incorporated safe design principles for both young and aging occupants for developer Stockland. Vierwers stole the real trade secrets from experts Paul and Robert on the panel.

Episode 4 - How to greenovate

This show focused on Greenovating and Suzy's first guest — author and sustainability coach Michael Mobbs — was pushing the envelope on this subject years ago. In addition to Michael, we were also joined by green builder Darryn Parkinson and green interior designer Sharon Hamilton of Sydney-based builder Your Abode. We also heard the greenovating details on the Doll House and Richmond Remodel from architects Jeremy McLeod and Ed Ewers. Viewers stole the real Trade Secrets when they asked questions of our panel — Michael, Darryn and Sharon were this episode's experts.

Episode 5 - Coastal design

From the humble beach shack to the coastal McMansion, the Australian coastline has got the lot. With city dwellers wanting their beachside weekenders to replicate what they have at home, where does the future of the humble beach house lay? Two of Australia's leading designers — architect John Mainwaring from JMA Architecture and Simon Youngleson from Simon Youngleson Architects — joined Suzy and discussed the issue that has many seaside residents up in arms. Suzy also interviewed architect Matt Dickson and homeowner Andrew Perry about the makeover of his 50s fibro beach shack into a modern but humble beachside weekender. Simon and John also answered viewers’ questions on the panel.
