Grand Designs Australia is an Australian spin-off of the British TV series Grand Designs, which has grown into a global phenomenon, selling in over 100 territories. The show documents people who attempt to build a custom-designed house and the challenges they face. It is hosted by Peter Maddison, who meets people building the homes of their dreams in Australia.
Makes me angry that neighbors and council made their dream home such a difficult project but, despite it not being exactly as originally planned, the end result is still just fabulous. ✨✨✨
I feel the same way, I can't understand how the neighbors were so awful, I would have never moved in I wouldn't want those kind of neighbors
How many Council Conservation Officers does it take to change a Lightbulb? You say Change?
From the start even with the one wall, this was always a new build.
of course. They attempted to dodge the planning and building laws and didnt get away with it.
Not under the by-laws of the locality.
Have done this before and the one wall is critical from a legal standpoint, rules are rules.

This is exactly why you should hire professionals to help you. They know how to handle all the bureaucracy and can save you a lot of money and time.
Why is it necessary?
@ to avoid mistakes like we saw in this video.
@RafaelH-e8y If they hired professionals they would have known how to keep the wall that was required for it to be a major remodel. One solution a professional might have come up with is a staged demolishing and rebuilt. They had basically three sections to build an accommodation i.e. bedrooms section a living room entry kitchen section and a garage. The existing garage likely helped hold up the wall they needed to save. If the garage was not structurally enough to hold up the wall the bedroom section could have been built while the living area section was still up and then the living room section removed in such as way to keep the original wall. Professionals would have been able to help them to get to such a solution instead of the headache they found themselves in.
@@philipbloomquist1580 A major remodel?!? FFS, that was not a remodel even on a sunny day. Just a buch of red tape forcing people to turn themselves inside out and then getting battered - and for what?
The combination of nasty jealous neighbors and bureaucrats that behave like mafias would've been enough to put off anyone with less drive and determination than this brave couple; kudos to them for that beautiful home they built.
What a difficult, challenging built!!
Only because of the nazi-council.
That is why it is best not to take shortcuts. It would be interesting to hear the view from the actual neighbors and what they planned to do that got rejected. Consult with a proffesional who works with the council laws and rules and regulations and avoid disappointment. It will make a boring show though, so quite enjoy all the drama.
The moral of the story: PLEASE HIRE AN ARCHITECT!
We can all have an opinion on style, the demolition and reasons for doing this. But they are lovely people, tried to do good by the neighbourhood in the beginning by giving away plants etc. The council and neighbours should be ashamed of themselves. I wish them well. I would not have survived this.
Lesson: never tear down the wall that keeps you within a legal defined status. They tried to outsmart the council and bypass the law... They got a deserved slap on the wrist. The law is there to be complied with and upheld. The neighbors sucked in this instance and behaved like creeps
Painful to watch. I would be filled with so much anger I would not be able to live there.
Another story of wastefulness... knocking down a perfectly good home to build another... be satisfied with what you have instead of feeling the "need" to put up something that caused a lot of grief for them and animosity amongst the neighbors and ending up with a project that stretched their finances beyond their means
I agree...
@@andreewert1925 You guys would fit right in, in Germany 1940...
Everybody has dreams. They had a vision and good on them. They’ve worked hard and are good people. What does it concern us.
Wastefulness to you they have the means so they can do what they wanted but in our communities they would be haters
Wait, they tore down a brick home???? sorry they lost me
I would never build in any area where there are rules, regulations and neighbors who restrict creativity or practicality. Compromise is when both parties lose and it is unnecessary. One cannot reason with those who do not use reason
You will never build in Europ then 😉
This house is beautiful ... large living space & cozy bedrooms ... BUT ... demolishing perfectly gorgeous house and being upset for counsil & neighbours demanding permits for new built 🤦♀️
Rich people waste🤢
thank god i do not have to live with a Karen like that.
Have to? Gosh, tell us about your painful childhood....
@RafaelH-e8y I watch a lot of episodes of GD UK, GD NZ en GD AU. Most of the times nice couples in their own right. Did you like this woman? Guy was cool.
@acquisitium You missed the point here...
Sound like projecting on your part so who hurt you? True he could have worded it as he would never chose to live with a Karen like that instead of have to live with a Karen like that. It is a statement to indicate that he was fortunate that he did not make the mistake of choosing a partner who he views as problematic as he views the woman in this episode as being problematic. I would say the dynamitic of the couple in the episode works for them but I could see that working for other people.
@@philipbloomquist1580 Is it not a wonderful world when everything that is said needs interpreter like you, right?
Councils is part of government and it can be so pathetic. All over....Why do you have to live your life and build your dreams according to someone else way and beliefs...rules is too strict for nothing...really pathetic if you ask me......
