"You're a man of interesting taste". So much more polite than what I was thinking.

Did you notice the coral carpet in the bedroom at the top of the stairs? Probably for his granddaughters. I hate the bold yellow with the soft green downstairs. Hate the couch.

After witnessing Geoff doing this incredible project successfully, he is truly an inspiration to many coming through this pandemic! Now everyone instead of believing in life and always saying 'I cannot' believe in yourself and learn to say, Yes you can! An Incredible home, furnishings and commentary. I envy you living there Geoff I really do , enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Geoff you are bold and gentle, truly you are the Godfather of construction and design, who can not fail. Thank you for the entire information of laying the foundation deep into the earth instead of the piling up suspension like they do in Florida is absolutely genius. This video will help me to implement my coastal home building in the near future.

the massive overhang is what make this house really stand out. Bold idea and great engineering.

top floors need to be the height of street lights nowadays if Queensland and New South Wales recent floods are anything to go by, when building in flood plain
@lingth Рік тому
NSW, Victoria should consider such designs, there is so much floods in those areas.
@RJ-se9op 7 місяців тому
an inspiration. a man has a goal in mind and he goes for it despite how unconventional it is. in the town i live in they are building on the historic floodplain with no thought to the inevitable. our culture could do with more great ideas like Jeff’s.

Q: How to build a flood proof home? A: Move to a place where it does not flood.
@angelaburrell4649 2 роки тому
This design would work perfectly in Australia, at the Hawkesbury NSW right now as its flooded again this year 😉 or Brisbane QLD or Lismore NSW .... Goondiwindi Qld 😉

@POTThaesslich 2 роки тому
great concept, a shame he didn't pull through with the curved garden walls and the bespoke windows from the renders, that would have made it a true Grand Design. It now lacks a bit of finesse. But still a great home

I don't understand the avoidance of a couple of extra columns under and knock off $100k+ on the price. Perhaps it was those %(*$_)$))# planners? Better still raise the land and build on a hill. The view gets even better.
@Blake-pz7jj 2 роки тому
I think it's way too low to the ground to be calling it flood proof.

take away the fact it's on high, it just looks like an unremarkable bungalow. a missed opportunity i reckon. the interior is all his personality and hes happy so fair play
@PLuMUK54 2 роки тому
My first thought was "oh, a bungalow on stilts". I agree, a missed opportunity to have had spectacular instead of mundane.

@SevenEllen 2 роки тому
That house may be flood-proof but I don't fancy the chances of that glass in really high winds. It's going to get really hot in there in the future summers without some serious additions, like green rooves, shutters, passive coolling, etc. THREE loos??? That's a LOT of water wastage. Where are you going to get enough when demand outstrips supply? You'll need water butts to collect a LOT of rainwater.
@rowredround7206 2 роки тому
Why the carpet? Really messes up the flow.
@marieslabbert6009 2 роки тому
The weather and murky waters around his new home will depress me. I live in a sub tropical area with a lot of sunshine and colourful plants. His house is very impressive, but may not withstand the rise of the sea eventually.
@ergo6381 2 роки тому
Even Conservative estimates of rising sea levels will have his ground floor under water in the years to come. He won't be able to sell that place. Sold my house by a river threatened with future flooding. Property value dropped nearly six figures because of the report on projected sea level rise over the next few years. But you take the hit, better to sell when I did than wait any longer than I did.

@protonneutron9046 Рік тому
silly man. He did it complicated and WAY overpriced. We have to do this stuff down in Florida. One simply puts down the concrete pilings (which don't experience upthrust) and next a monolithic dome on top. You put NO living spaces at ground level (that's just stoopid) but garage and cars.
@jep1912 2 роки тому
Essentially the guy built a mirror of his caravan on a flood plain and filled it with tat from a Butlins Blackpool liquidation sale. Grim.

Building on a wetland with future climate change just starting? sounds like a terrible idea and waste of money even with the best technology..
@PLuMUK54 2 роки тому
"Grand Designs"? Not really. "Mediocre Designs", more like. A basic bungalow on stilts, a depressing area, and interior design past its sell-by date. I got the distinct impression that Kevin was struggling to make positive comments.
