- Grand Designs 2024 - Building Underground House
Bel and John are building a radical underground house on 25 spectacular acres at Whittlesea, in Victoria's Plenty Valley - so named for its fertile farmland and magnificent views. But the area has also acquired a more terrifying reputation. In 2009, 120 people died nearby at Kinglake in what's now known as the Black Saturday bushfires, and as a result Bel and John want a home that's fire proof! With John away at work for much of the build, it's up to Bel to project manage the difficult and complex build. But a number of unexpected challenges make the process harder than anticipated, and with their underground sanctuary looking more like an airport terminal than a stylish home, the pressure reaches breaking point!

By UK prices, that was NOT an expensive build. That view is priceless.
Aaaaah it is good to be rich
very nice very beautiful work guys
Beautiful
Could have hired 2 Front loading dumpers and moved the concrete back and forth for about an extra 2k in dumper driver hire and drivers. Spending 25k to buy rocks was a bit odd.
The concrete beams seem overkill. I built on concrete roofs, 40 years ago. Back then, there was concrete (a few inches), over which, you had a 2 inch solid insulation, then a rubber membrane, then rock. Size of the rock, did alter, based on the region. but some rock was bigger then a softball. There were also walking mats, that could be put on.
She one of Those clients.........lol
That house is amazing
I live in Kenya where most buildings use quarried cut stones. All this new technology is amazing!
theres a simple fix for trucks going up the original road, every trucker should know, BACK UP
add Gravel on the roof in between the Patches of Grass///..more Bush Fire Proection..
The plants they used on the roof are bushfire resistant , Australia has about 40 plants that do not burn under a flame. Emu Bush is the main one visible on that roof , google up "bushfire resistant australian plants" you will find the list.
on a ridge, you have to take into consideration the Aeolian effect.
Nice house, the cost need tweaking. Too much concrete I think!
Very nice indeed, but not an underground house at all. The earth has been brought up to it and over the top.
Beautiful building
120 tons of concrete and 3 parking's??
The Sprint the split screen at the end is very difficult to watch so I turned it off
More dollars than sense in this crazy world 1.3 million and it's a small house mostly buried under the ground no amount of talk will make it sound reasonable and it's finish yet.
Somewhat misleading upload - the thumbnail is of a different building and this is several years old , 2022, not 2024. Still, an interesting house.
Yes! I thought we were going to see THAT building, with the stone work and the green detail.
Click bait like so much crap on TH-cam these days. It’s all about earning money and not integrity or honesty. Thumbs down for the lie.
Very thoughtful and interesting couple. They look like they’d make great friends. Nice to have a virtually unlimited budget for a home. This building method has to be safer in areas like this with such hazards. Here in the states it would be great in tornado alley. The benefit to the heating cooling has to be huge. The solar install is a little obtrusive but necessary. Congrats on having the wherewithal to pull it off.
Thanks for the heads up, I won't participate
Btw, Broken glass can be used to do terrazo type concrete pavers or slabs...some great Videos on that.
Piękny dom
Don't see anything resembling a house tour until 39:00 minutes in...and then only barely.
Like it, been thing about doing this.
This house is not an environmental home. Concrete pvc a high cost to the environment
They should have purchased a mixer truck and batched the concrete at the site, hauling the materials dry.
of the main plastics in use PVC is the most deadly. When exposed to heat you have chlorine gas...?
So much PVC and concrete - won't go down well at the local organic caf. Not the building style of the future. Much better bushfire-resistant house designs to choose from. What were the architects thinking? Would have been good to get their viewpoint/justification.
At the beginning these two said they hoped this type of building would catch on , lol who has a million dollars to build a home the average person can barly afford a bedroom very unrealistic. Earthships is where they are at and can be built very cheaply or expensively...and are truly organic..these is unrealistic to build this way and not very oranic.
I could have my dream home for 10% of the cost of the foundation alone…. Makes me cringe
There are some quite nice butts in this build!! Hubba hubba.
Missleasing thumbnail and title.
Go money bag's go!
Parsley underground housing isn't really experimental is it because I've been building buildings in England parsley under the ground for many centuries and I can assure you they work extremely well
partially ?
@@heartobefeltcilantro
Id have to go the bogan version with shipping containers
Wow! Look at your money bag's go.
Watching this, and had in my life always to turn a dollar always twice, watching the video - that’s what you call: The sky is the limit?! For that money, you could have built 10 regular Earthhouses.
Luv,luv,luv…. Perfect ! Maybe,,.,? Arched sails, with big hedge to stifle wind,?,pre fab concrete panels?
WHY are they even married !?
Of course it looks nothing like the thumbnail 😢
To many squaremeters for two in my opinion … for what ?
Haw far are the horses ?
Concrete.... AWFUL material ecologically. 🙄
I wish they wood cry more about the wind 😞
It's funny when people with no building experience start building
How about being real smart and not causing a fire in your neighborhood by burning your bbq stoves in the open ??
Hijacking clickbait.
🤓 yet… another episode of whinging home builders and brainless contractors 🤓
Not a fan of this one
We are self funded retirees now selling out of the private rental market due to increasing government charges making providing this service to the community unsustainable. We helped many young couples save for their first homes over decades.
The private rental market was never intended to provide social housing. There are more holiday houses than private rental properties vacant in Victoria.
Be aware, we will give you what you ask, but be careful what you asks for.
Wake up Next-Gen- Australia.
Too late for us ….
Ummm, Australians really are copier’s of design? Nothing original whatsoever, Taste and class mixed with a culture is not something that you won’t stumble upon on a daily basis. There’s nothing that is remotely achievable by any average Australian? Why not do a program based on something that is actually an achievable goal/ home?
I have been homeless for over a year, I would give anything to have 10 square meters of my own
I couldn’t afford to pay for the deposit on the excavator yet alone any permission from the local shire….
Get real, show people some promise of what is realistically achievable?
Why his and her room!!!do they have conjugal visits??
The Bible says man and woman shall marry and become one
Omg, you zealots
That's nobody else's business but theirs.
Well belle, if you want your house built, this is what you’re gonna have to do, sweetheart
