Perhaps the future prize homes can feature double glazing, fully insulated homes, heated slabs, energy harvesting and storage, and other energy saving add-ons.
The Stupidity to thinking it doesn’t have double glazing and isn’t fully insulated, heated slabs are a waste of money and energy and global warming is a scam.
The home is absolutely adorable. Just the right size as you said not to big. Unfortunately us foreign viewers can not enter the lottery. Still great to see all these wonderful designs.
Wow! An ensuite door! Who would have thought that the smell of toilet wafting in to the bedroom, a lack of privacy and being able to use the bathroom without waking a partner up in the middle of the night due to a lack of a barrier between the en suite and bedroom could all be solved with such a simple invention such as a door.. they should put ensuite doors on every future house being buil 😅
Wow, the kitchen and the bathrooms are stunningly well done. Love the minimalist feeling throughout and also the entrance. I was waiting you grab a drink but you forgot. 😂Love your channel as well, best from Miami FL.
The kitchen is phenomenal! Love the architecture of this home and interesting floorplan. Also have to mention the bathrooms! And the LED lighting throughout!
Beautifully designed home and the attention to detail of the construction work is top notch, well done to all involved. Have taken a lot of screenshots for a new contemporary project of ours. As usual the tour is beautifully shot and well narrated, I like that you did the walk through and then had some ‘clean’ shots whilst sitting down talking about it.
I agree it is a very practical house. At first, the master on the ground floor might seem to lack privacy, but keeping the kids/guests upstairs is a nice idea. And as the homeowners age, not having to go upstairs all the time is also practical. My biggest disappointment is the entry hall. It is a family house, but it doesn't seem to have built in closets or places for shoes, or a bench to sit down, etc. I'm guessing they are all hidden in the mudroom and the family will go through the garage, not the front door. But if we have guests, or receive packages, etc. it would be nice to have a functional main entrance.
From what I've seen Australians love having no garden space whatsoever. Other than that the house itself is absolutely stunning, especially the master bathroom
Beautiful ground floor but way too cramp on second floor, these type of house with big void area eats up space and imho not a good solution to get the "spacious, open feeling" by sacrificing real space above you. Another input would be the space underneath the stairs that can be utilize either to create storage or a glass wine room that will serve the transparencies effect of the stairs.
These builders are great but there's always that last 10% of practicality that is inexplicably not there. The big living space doesn't have curtains or any windows treatment. The upstairs ensuites don't have shower wands (good luck cleaning). The living spaces are never designed with good audio in mind. The entryways have nowhere for a coat or shoes or keys. And marble is a delicate material to maintain as it needs to be resealed twice a year. But hey, ensuite doors. There's progress.
That home would cost just under 250k usd to build in my home country. Who is the target market for a home like this? Middle class? Whats make the home that expensive? The land?
I dunno, given the height of the ceilings, that double height living room is just a waste of space to me, it could have been more practically used for another bedroom/home office/expanded upstairs living room.
Everything looks nice on camera, especially with the lenses they use to manipulate the perception of space . Go for a walk through this place and you’ll see the flaws.
You don’t pay tax on it in Australia. Only capital gains if you sell a prize. But best to speak to your accountant for exactly how it will affect you and your current situation. I still think you’re going to be ahead if you win this prize…
I have a ticket, but think this is one of the ugliest houses I've seen. Of course winning it would be a nice problem to have, and the tickets support a great cause.
