WOW!!! That's one of the most beautiful houses I've seen on GD. I'd leave Australia and move to England if I could live in it. Flawless.

[@bellablow4287]

Cheaper to just build it in Australia

[@markhirstwood4190]

Being almost anywhere in England offers many potential experiences similar to this so don't give up on England. As a Canadian I can assure you, in my 40s, drawn to England from about age 5, England is 1,000x more amazing than I could have ever dreamed after two trips, both including the North and the South and in summer and winter. England's not perfect of course, but if you liked this video, please understand it's not something made in isolation; it's more the rule than the exception.

[@Ahreigh]

⁠@@bellablow4287incorrect, housing prices and building materials in Australia are ridiculously expensive. Average house prices in Sydney are more than London

[@marc0523]

When I saw just the animations, I thought the house looked soulless and dull. But the end product is amazing! It has warmth, space, and a functionality to it. They will have a great life in this house.

[@desssval]

One of the best projects I have seen in this program for many years. So well thought through, so well executed and so natural in its blending of house, garden and pond… Brilliant

[@paulruddock4621]

A truly beautiful home. Love this program, love how Kevin presents it too -often not pulling any punches (other builds), and I agree with the other comments - one of the best projects I've seen on GD.

[@johnmcintosh5413]

Kevin always delivers the best TV show on houses and this one is a home we’d all love to have .

[@newhappiness4410]

This is one of my favourites, an affordable sustainable built house would always going to win the house of the year over this design

[@suemolesworth1248]

Got serious goose bumps when I saw this - it is the most gorgeous house and garden I think I’ve ever seen!

[@yeshprab]

I have not seen another house as breath-taking as this one. The brightest house I have seen, so flooded with light. Glass windows and doors every where. A clean pool-pond, with water lilies. How they came up with this plan is beyond my imagination. A spectacular video. The couple must be having deep pockets, without which no one can accomplish this. Shows that good taste and money can go hand in hand in rare cases. Yesh Prabhu, Bushkill, Pennsylvania

[@OneMorePutt]

Lovely looking house and that garden pool is amazing. I'd love a house and garden like this.

[@suzannedavies2480]

Omg! That’s unreal! Stunningly beautiful and gorgeous, yet peaceful and homely!wow!

[@harmlessgrey]

Wow! One of the most beautiful properties I've ever seen.

[@michellonneberga3148]

In my opinion the best project I've ever seen on Grand Design: The Design, the Light, the space, everything is perfect. This awesome pool. Really great. But how could the house look so clean when you habe little kids? 😃 Some others wrote it here already. And I think the same: That's at least a home, where I want to live, too. Good luck to the owner family and to all of you watching Grand Design. I would like to watch the whole episode, but I can't. Greetings from Germany and please stay healthy

[@hutoxipatel3610]

This is one of the best home with a complete resort look. V innovative ideas n pond construction is a cherry on top of this cake. God bless u both with health happiness n loooooooooong life

[@jM-ez7fq]

Kevin loves it. I knew he would. How could he not? It's absolutely beautiful.

[@harold6863]

Amazing the imagination and tenacity of these two.

[@gillianbc]

Finally, a grand designs house that I really like.

[@user-yg3zb4xy8n]

So far… the very best design, I have seen on GD, absolutely gorgeous! Wow!

[@fucky889]

This is so great I didn’t know you could get a freshwater pool like that.

Couldn't afford to fix the heating in the temporary house for his family, but could pop a quick full size tennis court in 🤨

[@Asif-wk4vw]

Why would you spend money on a house you’re about to demolish!!!

[@patmanrick]

Could afford to build an amazing family home for his kids? Living somewhere a bit grim builds character, now they get to fully enjoy the new house having experienced how lot of less fortunate people are forced to live

[@rhysmaybrey7739]

Stunning build. Awesome job

I can see the results of this masterpiece on this exhausted couple

This is the house i would want to live in if i were to win lotto. Its the type of design which lowers your heart rate by 20bpm 5 minutes after you arrive. Just magical

[@winstonmorella4900]

Best house ever on GD

[@PhotographyAdventure]

My god, this house was perfect!

[@nmmn391]

I like the house and see the connection between humans and nature. ANd it is definitely done with a great idea of symbiosis in head. But where is the sustainability in all of it? Is it the nature and the garden what they mean by sustainable home? Or the little recycling of materials? or did I miss some information in the documentary?

[@user-pv7pm3un2p]

Congratulations

[@immers2410]

Jaw dropping

[@hewittzhong]

No words for description

[@Abuassura]

How much was the total cost, please?

[@ilsekoelewijn8470]

I watched the episode, the land cost £800.000 and the build a total of £698.000 so basically 1.5 million

[@jackjbd3620]

Why did you stop airing this through BBC lifestyle we especially me, was very exited to watch it

[@haydne]

Why do I think, how much did it cost? It's brilliant!

[@cassieoz1702]

I know this is the short version but I can't watch this without wondering what it takes to heat it

[@danielrowland6628]

We are well into December now and we’ve only just turned on the heating on the Ground Floor only. The heat all comes from solar panels and a GSHP on site. All best, Dan

[@cassieoz1702]

@@danielrowland6628 thanks Dan

[@sithlordrj8883]

@@danielrowland6628 How 'smart-home' is it? In any case, it is magnificent. One thing I'd change is I would have showe/bidet toilets instead of normal and get one of those new tech lifts to really future proof it. Especially when elderly grandparents etc visit. I never get why so many expensive 2/3 floor homes in the UK have no lifts. New builds should all come prepared for solar panels/ smart home /lifts etc to future proof them.

[@HectorLSpain]

Which episode is this?

I haven't seen whole episode. What was full cost?

So confusing; local water drainage retention in here isn't municipal but free for people to appropriate land?.

It's effectively an easement, basically the same as a historical right-of-way. You retain ownership over the land, but there is a public purpose to a part of it.
