Grand Designs Australia | Hamptons | Season 1 Episode 6 | Full Episode

[@timtaylor1365]

You have so much space in Australia and very generous planning authorities. The opportunities for GRAND designs are enormous and make the UK look like toytown.

[@jackie6343]

It's more about Lisa project managing than a house being built !

[@QnA22]

I'm surprised that the architect wasn't aware about the lack of materials Australia had to offer to finish a building like this. Still, she did a great job considering the size of the project. No real mistakes, except the kitchen colour(should have been green). We've seen lots worse project management.

[@debby8428]

I'm from NY (not Long Island) and I love this house. I could never afford it but I can dream! Lol

[@tach9663]

Despite all the grumpy old men comments on here...I love it! She hung onto her convictions even when stubborn contractors tried to impress THEIR will on HER house just because "that's not how we do things here."

[@louiseaa7609]

Well done, lovely house and am sure it ll be a lovely hime once you have lived there for a while. It would be generic? had they decorated it in just two weeks. People commenting sound down right jealous.

[@haf2567]

The amount of money spent in building a house abroad never cease to amaze me we with just 50.000 💷 I will be living in my dream house.

[@bjbrown]

She is a site manager and I bet the men were so impressed. Well now, how did this project go? It takes more than a "vision" to build a house and the decor is the last thing to worry about.

[@samajier2566]

Tanks for sharing

[@pamelaricks2083]

Love her kitchen. Bet in 2023 she is happy wuth color choice. PVC windows are great for upkeep in that humid climate!! Guess Hampton folks have so much money they don't mind caulking and repainting every few years. Not sure why the need so mant sq ft? Their money...

[@3506Dodge]

Australians favor a very simple, modern, unadorned style. This looks busy and fussy to Australians. It reminds them of the few older houses in Australia that do have all that decoration.

[@henryravu1859]

American housing style always amazed me.

[@andreaandrea6716]

No Hamptons house would have plastic windows! That's the epitome of a bad suburban 'contractor built house' !

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

I agree.

[@3506Dodge]

Which is most houses built in the US today.

[@andreaandrea6716]

@@3506Dodge I know!!! It makes me SO SAD!!! With their FAKE panes. 'AS IF' they were actual wood-sash windows, except that they are so obviously NOT! And now, here (in the US), no one even twigs to how stupid they are. At least in the UK, people will screw up their noses in recognition of the fact!! And THAT makes me happy.

[@Thurstorm]

What a tasteless house!

[@moniquecm1144]

💖💖love seeing 💖💖

[@3506Dodge]

It absolutely could fit in in the US.

[@DavidGBlair]

Looks like a giant trailer

[@nathanbabble1976]

Who spends a million plus on a house but doesn’t hire a real project manager?!? Such a terrible mistake.

[@robertnoble1844]

I admire her drive and accomplishment, but this house is nearly ghastly

[@heatherjephcott5022]

Men failing to respect a female. Having been through an episode of crying as a result of the lack of respect by 2 males this week, one over work done, I can understand how difficult it is for a woman, even if she was a trained project manager. I do really like the look of the house, whether or not I would like it for myself.

[@HomeFromFarAway]

all that work for something that looks incredibly generic

[@3506Dodge]

not in Australia. I've never seen a house like this anywhere in Australia.

[@jennrowsell7868]

Well done Lisa 🩵

[@peterkompter2417]

fav though, she cant wear her safety shoes but workers wear theirs, their blunts dont have steel toes or shanks either, l saw no green triangle?

[@SpikeRess]

I have never seen so many blank walls without one single piece of artwork oh, what a waste!!!

[@andreaandrea6716]

My lament with almost all the shows I see (and that is ALL that I watch; shows about houses!). It's shocking how many people build/buy/sell/remodel/expand houses and ... NO ART!! Just naked walls.

[@pamelaricks2083]

They only moved in 2 weeks before!!

[@peterkompter2417]

should have made it smaller and built with better materials and fixtures and furniture

[@WilldoAldone]

Not a fan of this style. She didnt want contemporary, but it looked very contemporary 1980s. Not old money Hamptons at all. But, to be fair its her house and her money paying, she should get exactly what she wants from suppliers and builders.

[@kathysuits4749]

Does this woman ever stop and count her blessings?

[@3506Dodge]

This is how professional class people live in the American South and Midwest. You could drug, kidnap, and blindfold me put me in this house and I don't know how long it would take for me to realize I wasn't in Texas or Georgia.

[@peterkompter2417]

ONE PIECE AT A TIME ON SITE, so special but so are trusses just off site and then you need an expensive frame. So many 'expensive' things then cheap vinyl window frames, is it vinyl siding too? vinyl fencing, god the Hamptons are turning in their graves

[@misteebrowning7481]

I appreciate all of the hard work but, as an American, this is like a caricature of an American house. It seems so sterile and unwelcoming.

[@3506Dodge]

That's how new houses are in the US today.

[@jackie6343]

English style house ?

[@johnwest194]

it is always a sad commentary of how people value big things that are far too big for 2 people and spending money they do not have just to live BIG - is is depressing that so much value is placed on a house

[@djsmithe]

Huge house. Nothing makes sense.

[@nadeeshadissanayaka2015]

I think its too big for a small family, I mean if you have about 5-6 kids then okay otherwise I'd feel lonely l just for two people (husband and wife) living there alone

[@ladydamemarvelous-micynyc7265]

LOL. She's such a poor suffering soul. How do you make all your Disney dreams come true. Those dreams that you're entitled to!

[@ladydamemarvelous-micynyc7265]

So sad. It will be used briefly then the children will be gone and it will be a tomb. The kitchen could be used as a mortuary and they could open up a funeral home. Perfect! They both act depressed and unfulfilled. I wonder why when they have all of that. Hummm.

[@arhamid08]

Indeed find a female builder and let them project manage for you..

[@robertheinrichvonseyfenste267]

like poor kangaroos... trying to make high jumps with empty pouches... shame... IKEA is better..

[@nathanbabble1976]

Everything about how this woman is making a building is wrong. But these pretty princesses of the world who just marry rich and spend their husbands money can’t be told no to anything. Her biggest complaint is she has too much choice and can’t make up her mind. Imagine. Just throwing away money left and right for tiny adjustments that make no difference. I bet he spent twice what he said he did.

[@3506Dodge]

Sounds like many in the US today.

[@davedyson4730]

A great achievement to the lady but houses like this need architects, project managers and interior designers. The windows are terrible and the polystyrene is beyond words.

[@peterkompter2417]

ttheir brand? cheap and tacky? lol

[@JB-ej2qy]

It’s ugly

[@ladydamemarvelous-micynyc7265]

alll that money but none spent on the teeth. yikes.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

lol

[@rickschwarzman]

Very b*****y! Seems you need to point out others' physical deformities to feel good about yourself.
