In this episode, we head to the picturesque Sunshine Coast suburb of Currimundi, a coastal region that has experienced its fair share of extreme weather events, from drought to bushfires and now floods.
Despite the temperamental climate, the location holds plenty of appeal. With a median house price of $630,000, the area offers an affordable coastal lifestyle with beautiful beaches and a cool, laidback vibe thanks to the hundreds of young families flocking to the area.
One of these families is Shaun, Maxine, and their energetic young son.
The family has recently purchased a mid-century modern home that, like many other homes in the area, was built in the 70s. While the clean lines and low-pitched roof of the home are full of character, the orientation and floorplan aren’t suited to modern living - it's small, hot, and stuffy, with poor insulation and airflow. The centre of the house is dark, with no natural light thanks to a wall that separates the kitchen and living space.
