The Lodge, Official residence in Deakin, Australia.
The Lodge stands on Adelaide Avenue as a Georgian revival mansion with 40 rooms spread across landscaped grounds of 18,000 square meters.
The residence, completed in 1927 for £28,319, was initially designed as a temporary solution until a more substantial ministerial home could be constructed.
The interior design by Ruth Lane Poole reflects Australian craftsmanship through locally sourced materials and traditional Georgian architectural elements.
Security measures include surveillance cameras, biometric scanners, elevated fences, and reinforced windows to protect the residing Prime Minister and family.
Twenty-three Prime Ministers have had access to The Lodge, though six chose alternative residences during their leadership terms.
