06:25...right angles when it does flood ...
06:26... Its sort of like this torture over a few days...
06:31...And you came back ...
06:32...And you came back ...
06:33...That's a pretty big call to make ...
06:35...Well it was but ...
06:37...but we ...
06:38...basically put ourselves in a position ...
06:40...where we didn't have any options ...
06:42...You decided that if we sold Chelmant ...
06:44...Then there was no turning back ...
06:45... It was a statement of commitment, I suppose ...
06:49...Whe didn't have an option ...
06:50When it does flood ...
06:52...And it will ...
06:52...And it will ...
06:54Nói, sẽ bị thông dào khi chế quay.
06:58Khi thì hòa cho chế quay có thể hiện ra khu hướng và hظa hướng?
07:04Phrm dụng thế này thông dài.
07:07Thông dài hướng giống như một nhà rượu thông thông thông thông.
07:11Chúng ta hiệp cửa phát với bởi vì vậy.
07:15Nó là trở dòng, khu hướng giống như thế này,
07:17cung tùy khu hướng giống như thế này cao trên trên bệnh của nước nhỏ.
07:21Nói, giống như thế này, chứ không phải ở mùa thông thông thông.
07:2326 piers will plunge an astonishing 13.5 metres into the earth
07:29Locking down the foundations that support the home's unique steel frame
07:34Which cantilevers out over the bank
07:36On the riverside, there are views from the deck and master bedroom
07:41Which flow into the open kitchen, living and dining rooms
07:44The steel frame is exposed
07:46With 170 water resistant melamine panels
07:51Inserted into the walls and raked ceiling
07:53Halfway down the house, more landscape
07:57A garden courtyard and pool, sunlit through the opening in the roof
08:01There's a mezzanine office, two more bedrooms and a garage
08:06Metal sheets and ironbark battens line the exterior
08:10Providing shade and ventilation
08:12And screens will keep out the mozzies
08:15In case of a record-breaking flood, Richard's taking no chances
08:21The house is semi-submersible
08:23The blockwork undercroft is impervious to water
08:26Ironbark floorboards will survive days submerged
08:30And the melamine wall panels can be screwed off and replaced
08:35Could this be the future of riverside living?
08:38So the strategy of the hose-out sort of approach makes a lot of sense to me
08:45You're working out what's fixed and what you can let go of
08:48And that's the kind of the set-up for the home
08:51Given all of that, it sounds very bespoke
08:54I imagine a lot of work from the design point of view as well as the builder
08:57How much money are you going to spend on this?
08:59As modest as we can
09:01Maybe, you know, with sort of thinking
09:04Hoping about 1.5, maybe 1.6
09:08Yeah
09:08You've got a very challenging site
09:11Yeah
09:12How long is this going to take to build?
09:14We think 12 to 14 months
09:17This to me is sounding like an extraordinary adventure
09:19Not only because you're talking about a contemporary home
09:22That's in an absolute harmony with its environment
09:26But you're actually offering a really interesting redefinition of materials
09:31An approach to materials
09:33That is appropriate to here but has all sorts of relevance across Australia
09:37So that to me makes this a really exciting project
09:40I'm really looking forward to see how this shapes up
09:43So are we
09:45This is a fascinating project
09:52Because to create something really simple
09:54Is actually really complicated
09:56For example, you'd think using less materials
09:59Would save you time and money
10:00But actually, it's the opposite
10:02With everything on show
10:05There's nowhere to hide mistakes or sloppy work
10:08Like the steel
10:09It's visible
10:10And so that means the welds have to be detailed beautifully
10:14As they'll also be seen
10:16And there are no mouldings or architraves
10:18So there's nowhere to hide errors
10:20Which means everything has to be perfect
10:24That means more time
10:26And that means everything costs more
10:29That $1.5 million budget
10:32Is starting off on some pretty shaky ground
10:35The budget might be on shaky ground
10:41But Richard is starting by ensuring the site
10:44Is as solid as it possibly can be
10:46Well, today's probably 12 months in the making
10:54A year pretty much to the day
10:56Since the 2022 floods
10:58There's been a lot of geotechnical work
11:00There's a lot of structural work
11:01Engineering work
11:02So today is the day that we start piling
11:06Yeah, a bit apprehensive
11:09I suppose
11:10Didn't sleep a lot last night
11:11But I never sleep much anyway
11:13So
11:14And frankly, how could you sleep?
11:19Richard and Jeanette are gambling everything
11:21On the belief they can build a house
11:23Strong enough to hold back the river
11:25I mean, this has been the biggest problem on the job
11:29It's been trying to deal with the vagaries of the river, I suppose
11:34You know, if you're going to build on the river
11:36You've got to take all those things into account
11:38The specialised piling machine
11:41Will create the piers that anchor the whole house
11:44Drilling the holes
11:46Pumping in concrete
11:48Then reinforcing them with steel
11:55No, it's right
11:57It's good to finally get something going
11:59There's a long way to go
12:02Of course
12:03But you've got to start somewhere
12:05Next, a gigantic concrete capping beam
12:16Is run across the piers
12:18These industrial scale earthworks
12:20Necessitated by last year's landslip
12:23Have added nearly $300,000 to Richard's original budget
12:28And given he programs huge construction jobs for a living
12:32He sees where every dollar is going
12:36And then there was 0.6
12:44By R squared
12:47There's about 300 cubic metres of concrete
12:51In the ground here
12:54It's a lot
12:55A lot for houses
12:56Yeah
12:57For residential
12:58Hi dad
12:59How you going?
13:01As fate would have it
13:02Richard's son Ollie is a builder on the job
13:05He's more than familiar with his dad's eye for detail
13:08He's got a pretty good idea of how long things should be taking
13:13So if we're behind on things
13:15He'll know
13:17So that hasn't
13:18That's
13:19Is what it is
13:21It's a very exciting thing that mum and dad have moved back down here
13:26After all this time
13:27And the house that they're building
13:30That I'm sort of a part of it
13:31So that'll be really good
13:32Ollie's not the only family connection
13:36Richard's brother Graham owns the neighbouring site
13:39And plans to build here soon
13:41In fact Richard's huge concrete capping beam
13:44Extends across Graham's site
13:46To anchor his house too
13:48We're sort of doing it all at once
13:50Just to save doing it twice
13:52On two different blocks
13:53I just thought I'd leave him a note
13:55Leave him a note in the capping beam
13:58There we go
14:02RR was here
14:08He'll cover it all up
14:13With so much family history in this place
14:19Everyone is hoping the house really will be flood proof
14:22It's just
14:24You can build a shopping centre on this thing
14:26With the piers that they put in
14:27This thing just
14:29It just can't move
14:30As of today
14:32This site
14:33It'll be secure
14:35And we can go forward with the house
14:38I just hope he's right
14:41But there's a danger
14:43By building so far back from the river
14:45Richard will lose connection
14:47With the whole reason he loves the place
14:49That's where architect James Russell comes in
14:55He's all about connecting houses to the environment
14:59This is magic
15:00I mean
15:01Check out his office
15:03G'day James
15:05Anthony
15:06How are you going?
15:07I'm really well
15:08Thank you for coming
15:09Thank you
15:09I love your place here
15:11It's so
15:11It's so open
15:12And airy
15:13It's not your typical architecture studio
15:15Is it?
15:16Single pavilion
15:17Open to the elements like this
15:18With a single desk
15:19And one screen
15:19I think if clients come here
15:22They may as well see what I like
15:24Yeah
15:24I don't like feeling closed inside
15:28Yeah
15:28When I'm working or at home
15:30No kidding
15:30Sorry
15:31This is your office
15:32I mean
15:33Marvellous, right?
15:34Doors can close down
15:36If you need to
15:36But almost never are they closed
15:40I think in our architecture
15:41We're not trying to make
15:43Beautiful indoor spaces
15:45We're trying to make
15:46Those beautiful transition spaces
15:48That are neither indoors or outdoors
15:50The challenge for James
15:53Is to bring that same sense
15:55Of connection to nature
15:56To Richard's house
15:57While at the same time
15:59He also has that
16:00Other big environmental issue
16:02To grapple with
16:02The most obvious question is
16:05From your point of view
16:06As the architect here
16:07Why would we even build here?
16:09I mean seriously
16:10It's going to flood
16:11We know that
16:11So why go back there?
16:13I think if you were to go back
16:16On flood affected sites
16:17And just build the same way
16:19That has always happened before
16:22I don't think that's acceptable
16:23I think we really need to change
16:26The way we look at
16:27Building on these sites
16:28So that a flood can go through
16:31And you can hose it out
16:32There will still be
16:33And there are still parts
16:35That go down into areas
16:37That are likely to flood
16:38Within those zones
16:40There are no power points
16:42Everything's out of materials
16:44That can cope with
16:45Being underwater
16:47It's not the kind of conversation
16:49That's easy to have
16:50With a new client
16:51Who walks in the door
16:52And the second thing you say
16:54Is yes we're going to be
16:55Hosing out your house
16:56When the house floods
16:56That was Richard's family site
16:59Or family home
17:00So where he grew up
17:01So it was a really easy conversation
17:04To have
17:05It was well
17:07If you're going to build here
17:09We need to make sure
17:10You can actually
17:11Enjoy a flood
17:13If you like
17:14Enjoy a flood
17:16I don't think so
17:18But four months into the build
17:21Back on site
17:22They're trying to make
17:24That dream happened
17:25The block work is being laid
17:28For that hose out
17:29Lower level
17:30The rest of the house
17:36Is under construction too
17:37But that's happening
17:38An hour away
17:39At Deception Bay
17:40In this shed
17:42The enormous steel frame
17:45More than 5,000 individual pieces
17:52Are being meticulously plotted
17:54Measured and cut
17:55It's been nine months
17:58In the planning
17:58Not many homeowners
18:02Visit a steel fabrication factory
18:04But details guy Richard
18:06Can't stay away
18:08You know you've got
18:10All the elements
18:11They all fit together
18:13All bolted together
18:14Welded together
18:14So there's a lot of complexity
18:17To bring quite a simple structure together
18:20I'm intrigued about these ones here
18:23What are these little follies?
18:25I believe they're little stiffeners
18:26For some of the angles
18:27Oh okay
18:28Yeah well that's it
18:29It's all about preparation
18:30With this thing
18:31And it comes down
18:32To the smallest pieces
18:34And you know
18:35Knowing how many of them you need
18:37How many of them you need
18:38And just focusing on that
18:40Yeah
18:40Everything should go together
18:42Like a meccano set
18:43We supply so much information
18:45In the drafting part of this
18:46That tells everyone
18:48How this is going to be assembled
18:49Once it gets to site
18:50That it really is just like
18:52Putting a meccano set together
18:53Some meccano set
18:55More than 18 tonnes of steel
18:59Will go into the frame
19:00And unusually for a residential house
19:03Nearly every nut, bolt and weld
19:05Will be visible in the finished home
19:08Very excited
19:11Always nervous though
19:13Always nervous
19:13James tells me not to be nervous
19:16But I'll leave that for him
19:18Those nerves are heightened
19:23Eight months into the build
19:25When the steel frame is finally delivered
19:28Hundreds of numbered sections
19:30All needing to piece together perfectly
19:33It's up to the riggers
19:35To make sense of it all
19:36So this one here
19:39It was going to be
19:41These individual little ones here
19:43These ones here, yeah
19:44All right, we're good to know there, boss
19:47Oh yeah, that's it
19:52That's it, bro
19:53Okay, that's pretty vertical there, man
19:56Okay, hold your jib there, mate
19:57Rope it up only
19:58Yep, okay, mate
19:59The hole's definitely your side
20:01Yep, spinning
20:03Ready to hook up
20:04The first of eight spans
20:10Is gently lifted into position
20:12See, it's good
20:13Just keep coming in like that
20:14Looking for about another two
20:15Two and a half metres down there, jib
20:17It fits
20:30Everyone can breathe out
20:34Matt, have you done this before?
20:37Work experience
20:38So it is happening
20:40And so when you see the steel up
20:41And you can see the shape of the house
20:43And all that sort of thing
20:43That's when you start to believe then
20:46Up until then you sort of think
20:49Is this actually going to happen
20:50Or it's just a dream
20:51Thanks to all that pre-planning
20:56The frame is falling into place
21:00Three weeks later
21:06The last span is going up
21:08Jeanette's popped out to see it happen
21:12This is very exciting
21:14It is
21:15This is a moment, right?
21:16I come down and I say
21:17Oh, they put one up
21:18And I didn't get to see it
21:19How are you feeling about the whole design
21:21At the moment?
21:23Um
21:23Look, if I had a doll
21:25For every time I said to Richard
21:27Can you just build me a normal house?
21:30He said you've got to be a bit adventurous
21:33And yeah
21:34Richard's not a stock standard
21:36Sort of guy
21:38So how's he enjoying it?
21:39How's he going actually?
21:40Um, it's just an added layer to his stress level
21:44You know
21:44But it's just all coming into fruition now
21:48And he comes out every day
21:51And I say, you don't have to go out every day
21:53But he can't help himself
21:54Yeah
21:54Just like that
21:57The bones for Richard's flood-proof vision are built
22:01Standing strong
22:02High above the river
22:04And now that you see it like this
22:07Because now you can see the volume, of course
22:08Yeah
22:09So the house is sketched out now in front of you
22:11What's your impression?
22:13Is it what you imagined?
22:14Um, pretty much
22:16Yeah
22:16Yeah
22:16Yeah
22:16We knew that it was going to be
22:19A little bit of underwhelming in your voice there
22:21It's like, oh yeah
22:22It's sort of all right
22:23It's not like, wow
22:24This is our house
22:25Well, it's just different
22:27And the big bolts
22:29So we're going to see the bolts inside
22:31Yeah
22:31Oh, good
22:32Yeah
22:32Okay
22:32I'll get used to it
22:36So far, so good, hey
22:38So far, so good, yeah
22:39I think I'm going to love this
22:45I mean, Jamie's architecture is clear
22:47And very well considered
22:49And the whole thing feels very precise
22:51But we are in Queensland
22:54And I'm always looking for that indoor-outdoor connection
22:57And here, because of the flood
22:59It does feel a bit like the house is sitting up
23:02Out over the landscape
23:04Rather than in it
23:05Which means the life in the house
23:07Is detached from the backyard, as it were
23:09I'm pretty sure that's not the intention
23:11Let's just see if they've got this one right
23:14With the steel frame erected
23:23There's another important piece of flood-proofing to be done
23:26The metal is painted with a special epoxy
23:29It's the same stuff they use on bridges
23:32It's really good for metal that's going to be exposed to the elements
23:38Because it will stop it from rusting
23:40And stop it from decaying
23:43Just because it's all the frame for the whole house
23:45It'll need that little extra help
23:48Jess is still an apprentice painter
23:51But she knows all about the demands of this location
23:54I wouldn't live here personally
23:56But it's a nice area
23:58So I can see why people
24:00Constantly build and rebuild after the floods
24:04We've had to fix up a couple of places around here
24:08That have had some flood damage over time
24:11And it's just delaying the inevitable
24:14For the next year that it happens
24:16Did someone say inevitable?
24:19Right on cue
24:31Brisbane's summer rains arrive
24:33The river rises
24:36And work on site
24:41Grinds to a soggy halt
24:42Just when it looked like speeding up
24:44It's no torrential flood
24:49But it's a setback Richard could do without
24:51But he has his own way of dealing with pressure
24:58No surprise
25:00The river is at the heart of it
25:024.30am
25:05Monday, Wednesday, Friday
25:07You'll find him on the water
25:09With his mates
25:10The key part of it is to
25:13Get out of bed at 4 o'clock in the morning
25:15And get your sorry ass down here
25:17And once you get in the boat with the boys
25:19You, yeah, just stop thinking about work
25:21And you stop thinking about building houses
25:24And worrying about that sort of stuff
25:25I suspect this time on the water
25:29Is the only time Richard isn't thinking about the house
25:32He's in it up to the gunwales
25:34In part because he and architect James
25:37Approach the whole business
25:39In entirely different ways
25:41Jamie's brilliant concept, architect
25:45And what he's trying to achieve with the design
25:49It's just probably my nature and Jamie's nature
25:53Are very different, I suppose
25:55I'm a real detailed person
25:56And I like to know all of that right up front
26:01Jamie fills in a lot of the details
26:03Of how we're going to do things as we go along
26:06And that's where there's a little bit of anxiety
26:09I suppose is probably the best way to put it
26:11What that anxiety means in practical terms
26:16Is there's not a day goes by
26:17When Richard doesn't take the time away
26:19From his busy construction business
26:21To visit the site
26:22He can't help himself
26:24How are you going, Ollie?
26:25How you doing?
26:26How you doing?
26:26How are you?
26:27All right
26:28It's trying to rain again
26:30Never ends
26:33This big open house
26:36With its inside-out spaces
26:37Is different to anything they've built before
26:40There are a lot of questions
26:42It's a bit of an unusual sort of house
26:45So there's lots of little spots
26:48Where there aren't typical details
26:50So we've got to work out what those details might be
26:53Dad's, he's pretty worn out in that regard at the moment
26:58Just because there's been so many questions
27:00And conversations about so many details
27:03We could have done this in a more simple way
27:07You only live life once
27:09So we might as well go in and out of every nook and cranny
27:13To experience life to its fullest
27:16And that's probably what we're doing here to a certain extent
27:19It's the end of February
27:27Before the weather lets up
27:29And the complexity of building this simple house
27:32Reveals itself to building Manager Simmo
27:34The connection between the timber work
27:39Like our new timber frames
27:40And the steel is probably what's going to
27:43Become a little bit tricky
27:44But yeah, it's a good challenge
27:47And it's definitely something different
27:48To what we normally do
27:49It's different alright
27:52In fact, I'd say everything from here on in
27:55Will be unique
27:56Because the steel frame will stay exposed
27:59And the challenge will be
28:01To seamlessly mould the interiors around it
28:03Using flood resistant timbers
28:05Starting with the deck
28:07It's ironbark
28:09Ironbark timber
28:11Same as all the joists
28:12All kiln dried
28:14Just super hard
28:16Really durable timber
28:18A really clean finish
28:19And then the flooring inside will be the same
28:21So it'll be really
28:23Just a really nice
28:24Sort of flow through the house
28:26From the decking inside and stuff
28:27So
28:28Yeah
28:29It's going to be pretty cool
28:31Yeah, really cool
28:33The 14-month target for the build
28:39Slips past as winter approaches
28:42But at last
28:45The roof is going on
28:46And this is
28:48No ordinary roof
28:49It's quite difficult
28:52Because it's
28:52Quite a steep roof
28:54But it's a nice day
28:56And it's finally going on
28:57So we're happy
28:59Given the house is so high above the river
29:03A key design challenge
29:04Is to connect it
29:06To the landscape
29:07To that end
29:08The middle of the house
29:09Is a virtually
29:10Open air courtyard
29:11Garden and deck
29:12And that's where the roof comes in
29:14We're coming up to the section
29:17Where there's going to be
29:18A polycarbonate
29:19Clear roofing section
29:21Over the courtyard
29:21And that's something
29:23That we haven't done yet
29:24So
29:25That will be interesting
29:28The clear polycarbonate sheets
29:30Will allow natural light
29:32To flood the pool
29:33And courtyard areas
29:34It's so thin, isn't it?
29:36Mate, it's like glad wrap
29:37Push it up
29:42To the sky
29:43Keep going
29:44Up, up, up
29:45The poly's so thin
29:47It's like a soft drink bottle
29:48It's like really
29:49Like flexible
29:51I don't know if you can see that
29:53But like
29:54That's
29:55Not a lot of pressure on there
29:57And it just shows you
29:59How
29:59Thin it is
30:01The challenge is
30:03That we can't walk on it
30:05Because it's like
30:06Quite fragile
30:07So we're having to
30:10Screw off the sheets
30:10As we go
30:11Yeah, very awkward
30:13Just trying to
30:14Sort of
30:15Hard reaching over the sheets
30:18And like getting pressure down
30:20On the arm
30:21On the screw
30:23The solution
30:30Is a precarious looking blend
30:32Of gung-ho tradie
30:33And circus performer
30:36As awkward as it is to build
30:41The roof is finally offering
30:44A glimpse
30:44Into what's so special
30:45About this house
30:46Drawing in light
30:48And space
30:49To the central courtyard
30:50It's good to get a roof on
30:55That's for sure
30:56We'll get a bit of coverage
30:58It'll stop raining now
30:59By the end of the week
31:07The roof
31:08Is on
31:09Some flesh
31:10On the bones
31:11Of that steel skeleton
31:12If that's not worth celebrating
31:15I don't know what is
31:17Go on
31:17Ready for Friday
31:18Or what?

33:45We're both out of the ground, Richard's well advanced into his house
33:49and ours will continue to gather momentum from this point on
33:53and we're confident that we'll both be in pretty close to the end of this year
33:56so that'll be good, looking forward to it.
33:59Graham's is a more conventional house and unlike Richard
34:03he's just relying on its height above the river to keep it safe from floods.
34:08They're just different designs, different thoughts, different outlook on things
34:12so I don't think I'd change anything in ours.
34:17No rivalries about who'll be in, we'll both be here for a while.
34:21The rivalry is who'll be here for the longest, I guess.
34:24He'll win that too, I reckon.
34:33The build is now three months over schedule.
34:37Every day is adding cost to this house, the bills are piling up.
34:42And there's an unforeseen setback with that awkward clear roofing.
34:47Yeah, so under the poly sheets there's been like condensation forming all on the underside.
34:53The worst thing with the condensation is if it sits on the underside of the sheet
34:57and then it runs down and starts to go inside the ceiling space,
35:02it can start basically just start getting mould and stuff inside,
35:06like up in the ceiling.
35:08It means some of the sheets will need to be pulled out and replaced with a more conventional skylight,
35:15costing more time and money.
35:17It just sucks when you've laid all the roof and then you've got to pull something out.
35:21That's alright. It is what it is.
35:25When it's finished, the house will have a quiet pallet, iron bark timber, white steel, white walls.
35:38Architect James thinks the kitchen bench top offers the chance of something more,
35:43but might have some convincing to do with Jeanette and Richard.
35:48As an architect it is very much my role to talk about what it was in the first place that we're trying to achieve.
35:57So for Richard and Jeanette, a beautiful site on the river that floods.
36:02And so how do we bring landscape up to that house?
36:06And how do we bring landscape into that house?
36:09How do you get landscape into a bench top?
36:13For starters, James is insisting they get hands on.
36:17Hand over it, you can feel the textures.
36:19So rather than choosing from a picture and then having something sort of similar turn up three months down the track.
36:27Pretty wild actually.
36:29It's allowed us to run our hands over and get a feel for what those different finishes are like.
36:36More porous.
36:38And that's granite.
36:40That's leather finish.
36:41Leather finish granite.
36:43That's very safe.
36:46Do we want to do safe?
36:48It's not boring safe.
36:49Yeah.
36:50Just want it to be, um, statement safe.
36:54Shall we have a look at some crazy ones?
36:56Yeah.
36:57Let's go crazy.
36:58I just thought, oh, where do you start?
37:01Um, yeah, that was a bit, a bit daunting.
37:04But, um, once you've sort of got the feel for it, yeah, you can eliminate things straight away.
37:11Um, you just sort of know what you like and what you don't like.
37:14Jeanette, Richard.
37:15Hello.
37:16There is one more crazy one.
37:17Okay.
37:18That's like, that reminds me of, um, the Dane tree.
37:23Yeah, or the rain.
37:24That's not a bad thing.
37:25Or the bottom of my sister's fish pond.
37:29And look at this here.
37:30I know.
37:31It looks like a dead bird in there.
37:33It does.
37:34It looks like, yeah, yeah.
37:35It looks like feathers.
37:36The stone is a big bucks purchase.
37:39Upwards of $6,000.
37:42James navigating the tricky middle ground between what Jeanette thinks she wants and what he thinks
37:48she needs.
37:49Jeanette?
37:50Yeah?
37:51There's one here that I think's worth having a look at.
37:54Like, that is, that's really over the top.
37:59These.
38:00I think, surprisingly, not too over the top.
38:05It's the sort of thing you'd sit around and spend half your time drinking coffee and just
38:10looking at it.
38:11Green wine.
38:12Mm-hmm.
38:13You know, it's got beautiful greys, greens, browns.
38:16It's like a...
38:17It's a landscape.
38:18Mm.
38:19I think we should get a price.
38:20I think so.
38:21Yeah.
38:22Yeah.
38:23And it might be frightening.
38:24Yeah.
38:25Which might help with some of the decisions.
38:26That's usually our go, isn't it, Richard?
38:28What's that?
38:29Whatever we like, we can't afford.
38:30Oh, yeah.
38:31Absolutely.
38:32Yeah.
38:33Yep.
38:34Good taste, but no money.
38:35Whereas some people have got...
38:36Champagne taste, beer.
38:37Beer pocket.
38:38Beer pocket.
38:39If there was a race between the brothers to get their house finished first, by October,
38:48Graham's is closing fast.
38:51The painstaking task of building Richard's bespoke house around that exposed steel frame
38:57is dragging on.
38:58And there's another innovation.
39:01Huge mesh screens will allow doors in the house to stay open all year round.
39:06It'll be tightened up a little bit so you won't see any folds or creases or anything like
39:10that in it.
39:11But the idea, I suppose, is to insect-proof the house.
39:15And there's a bit of weatherproofing to it.
39:17There's a bit of sunscreening to it.
39:19Once fitted, it's structurally strong, so they shouldn't technically need a handrail across the
39:26elevated deck.
39:27The only thing there is probably going to need somewhere to put a beer and all that sort
39:32of thing.
39:33So, you know, if there's nothing there, that'll be a bit weird to be standing on the veranda
39:38and not have anywhere to put your beer.
39:40So, yeah, we might need a beer rail.
39:43Won't call it a handrail, just a beer rail.
39:46So, yeah, that might be the plan.
39:49Jeanette is clearly getting in the beer rail spirit.
39:52Beer time.
39:53As Christmas looms and this fiddly bill drags on, it feels like everyone could do with a
39:59drink.
40:00Particularly as she's not a fan of the screens.
40:04Yep.
40:05It's shade cloth and I don't know whether I like it either.
40:09The kids are going to run through and just bounce off it.
40:13Yeah, big vertical frame of the way.
40:15Yeah, on a bike, push bike.
40:16Yeah.
40:17I can just see Emmy and Harrison.
40:19Yeah.
40:20I'm sport with the view at the moment and I want it to stay just like that.
40:23So, I'd be happy with the balustrade, but that's never been on the agenda.
40:28Yeah.
40:33The screens are just one of the jobs, yet to be finished.
40:37To add warmth to the home's cold steel heart, tough, water resistant ironbark battens
40:43are being applied to the exterior.
40:46It's just like everything we've got to do when you're trying to fit into this steel.
40:49It's a very slow process, but I don't want to get in there.
40:59It's just like everything we've got to do when you're trying to fit into this steel.
41:15There's like, there's bolts in the way.
41:18There's like the angle that's coming down.
41:20You've got to check into here, around there, you've got to back out the corner.
41:24And coming across here, you've got like another plate there, and then you've got bolts in the way there.
41:29And everything you have to mitre, cut, scribe, around every little piece of steel.
41:42When they're not doing that, there are the melamine sheets.
41:47They're commonly used in kitchen cabinetry, but Richard is using them to line the entire building,
41:54including ceilings, in part to mitigate against flood damage.
41:59The panels here are, they're water resistant anyway, but nothing's completely water resistant when it comes to a flood.
42:07So all the bottom ones and that sort of stuff, they just screw them off and put new ones on.
42:12So it's pretty simple.
42:15What isn't simple or fast is putting the sheets up.
42:20So the process is we get it to length fairly accurately.
42:26We then have to put the sheet up and then scribe it against the steel, send it back down, cut it,
42:37pre-drill all the screw holes, and then we're sending it back up and we can finally screw it on.
42:44Total sheets, there's 170 to do.
42:48And I think so far this is number 61.
42:53So some of the days we're only getting like three or four panels up a day.
42:59So it's been a slow process.
43:03In fairness, building a bespoke, flood-proof house that opens up to the landscape
43:09was always going to come at a price.
43:12But this 12-month project now looks like running double that.
43:17Not to mention all the additional costs that go with it.
43:21And with more than an eye to Nextdoor rocketing up,
43:25all the extra costs and time are testing Jeannette's patience and her nerves.
43:31A house built like next door.
43:34That is a breeze compared to this.
43:37You can see so much happening quickly.
43:40We don't do anything that's easy.
43:45It's part of Richard's DNA.
43:48Everything has to be done the hard way.
43:50Yeah.
43:51Unless it's been done the hard way, it hasn't been done well enough.
43:54You know, you've got to do it.
43:56It's kind of a bit overwhelming at the moment.
43:58It's stressful.
43:59Time-consuming.
44:01But you're at a stage now where you can't court us.
44:06It's just not good for the job.
44:08It's not good for the house.
44:10So, yeah.
44:13This is our heart and soul.
44:15We have kind of got nowhere else to go yet.
44:18Yeah.
44:19So, it is a bit scary but, oh, I don't know.
44:22What do you do?
44:23What do you do?
44:25It would be just soul destroying if we did have to sell it.
44:33Yeah.
44:34And where would you go?
44:35Yeah.
44:36I don't know.
44:37Just have to make it work.
44:48For 160 years now, the Rawls family has been drawn to the Brisbane River's beauty
45:01and, at times, awed by its power.
45:08For Richard and Jeanette, finding a way to live safely on the river
45:12has proved a much bigger mission than they expected.
45:15I can't wait to see if they've achieved their flood-proof house.
45:26Oh, now that's unexpected.
45:29A bold statement.
45:30Wow, that's so striking.
45:38This is unlike anything Sherwood has seen before.
45:42Look at this.
45:45Jeanette, Richard, you have created a masterpiece.
45:49What a beautiful presentation to the street this whole thing is.
45:53Thank you.
45:54How are you feeling?
45:56A bit relieved.
45:57Yeah.
45:58It's been a long road.
45:59Very happy.
46:00Yeah.
46:01I mean, it's very, it's quite bland on the outside.
46:03It's a tin shed with, you know, batons each end.
46:06Inside, it's very rich.
46:09And that's the, that's where I get excited every time I come out here.
46:13Well, I mean, you said all this is bland, and I think that's being a bit cruel.
46:17I actually think, you know, it's a very elemental kind of geometry.
46:20There's a simplicity to it and a straightforwardness.
46:24It's sort of suggesting there's a life behind here.
46:27Why don't you come on inside and see what it's like, you know?
46:30OK.
46:31Come on in.
46:32Thank you.
46:36From the outside, the house only shows its pragmatic functional roots.
46:41That strong steel shed-like frame anchored deep into the riverbank.
46:46But step through the door.
46:51Welcome, Anthony.
46:53And the magical secret of this house is revealed.
46:57Welcome to our palace.
47:02You walk in, but you're still out.
47:05Bathed in the cool open air and light and space.
47:12Talk about an oasis.
47:14I mean, you come through that sort of mysterious front screen,
47:18and look what's sort of been laid out in front of us here.
47:21Bit unusual, isn't it?
47:22It's a great way to enter a home.
47:24Yeah.
47:25It feels really good.
47:26Yeah.
47:27Do you get that feeling when you walk in?
47:28Oh, yeah. Yeah, we love it.
47:29Yeah.
47:30I was, you know, thinking, how is the polycarbonate going to work?
47:33And I'm a bit nervous about polycarbonate because it can get a bit dirty.
47:36Yeah.
47:37But sitting on that slope, it's going to be self-cleaning.
47:39The battens work really well there.
47:41Yeah.
47:42And I think too, especially opening up that space, allowing the green.
47:44It just softens it.
47:45Yeah.
47:46It does. It softens the light.
47:47Yeah.
47:48The big feeling is that this is a house that understands its climate very well.
47:51Yeah.
47:52That works very easily with it.
47:53Absolutely.
47:54It's very important to get the cross breezes.
47:56Yeah.
47:57All those classic Queenslander traits, all those lessons.
48:00Yep.
48:01Here they are in a contemporary expression.
48:03Exactly.
48:04Yeah.
48:05With guest bedrooms and a study on the street side, there are lovely details everywhere.
48:15The pool tucking under a bathroom.
48:22Internal awnings bringing that soaring ceiling down to human height.
48:28And sliding walls opening up nearly every room to the cooling breeze off the river.
48:34So are we calling this the roadside?
48:36Roadside.
48:37The roadside and the riverside.
48:38And the riverside.
48:39Yeah.
48:40Yeah.
48:41Can I have a look down the river?
48:42Sure.
48:43Come on.
48:44Let's go.
48:46It's so clever.
48:48That's what I love about this.
48:50I mean, it's a whole inversion of the Queenslander.
48:53Your veranda is on the inside here.
48:55And you've made one house actually out of two beautiful little houses.
49:00Mm.
49:01This whole moment where you've kind of got a kitchen island bench,
49:06which becomes a bench against the kitchen window.
49:09Yeah.
49:10So that's kind of a nice little option for you.
49:12Now I've got a cosy little kitchen.
49:13You've got your cosy little kitchen happening.
49:14Yeah.
49:15Look how clever this is.
49:16Yeah.
49:17Yeah.
49:18That's beautiful.
49:19And then they all slide across.
49:20So then we've reset the whole house.
49:22You've brought the veranda, which is on the outside, to the inside here.
49:26And that's this game that's going on.
49:27Yeah.
49:31You spent a lot of time picking this stone, didn't you?
49:33Yeah.
49:34Yeah.
49:35And I just love it.
49:36Great.
49:37I'm so glad you said that.
49:38Yeah.
49:39Yeah.
49:40It's not showy at all.
49:41No.
49:42And it's, yeah, it just sort of works.
49:45One thing it does lead to is, you know, like there's a slightly industrial almost kind
49:49of sense when I look at just this part of the room here.
49:52Yeah.
49:53That's an interesting choice to make in a home.
49:54Mm.
49:55Homes would normally, you'd think, oh, a bit softer perhaps.
49:57Mm.
49:58How are you feeling about that now that you see it like that?
50:01Probably the key for us is the honesty of the design that we've stuck to all the way through.
50:06So I am very comfortable seeing the structure of the house because that's what it is and that's what you see.
50:13Are you happy with the bolts?
50:15Ah.
50:16You were questioning those?
50:17No, I'm happy with the bolts.
50:18Yeah.
50:19Just simplicity is pretty well what we were aiming for.
50:21Yeah.
50:22Yeah.
50:23It looks simple but it wasn't simple to build.
50:24Exactly.
50:25It's hard to get simple.
50:26It is very hard to get simple.
50:27Yeah.
50:28Yeah.
50:31Ask the builders and they'll tell you how hard simple is.
50:36The perfectly crafted timber, the blemish free steel, all those individually fitted crisp
50:44melamine boards.
50:48The effort is everywhere you look.
50:53And so is the river.
51:00The house dances with reflected light.
51:06This is really what it's all about, isn't it?
51:08Oh, yeah.
51:09This is it.
51:10This is the river meets the house moment and the river was always the beginning and the end of this story, right?
51:15Yeah.
51:16I was worried at the beginning when we first met, we were standing down there on the lawn and I was thinking,
51:20oh, you're kind of really taking yourself up the hill.
51:23Are you going to lose that connection?
51:25Um, but it doesn't feel like it.
51:26No, we haven't.
51:27Not at all.
51:28No?
51:29No.
51:30We just sort of perched over, sort of looking down on it.
51:31Yeah.
51:32Yeah.
51:33Yeah.
51:34And Janine, I can see you've won the battle about the copper mesh screen.
51:36Yes.
51:37The full length mesh is gone, replaced by a more conventional balustrade.
51:43Yeah.
51:44It was a big decision.
51:45We really agonised over that, didn't we?
51:47Yeah.
51:48But everyone that comes, they just put their elbows and lean.
51:51Yeah.
51:52Put your beer on the balustrade?
51:53Beer on the bar.
51:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
51:55And it's been a big problem for you, Richard?
51:57It is a big problem.
51:58It's just a boy thing, isn't it?
52:00This is your suite.
52:02So this is your bedroom over here.
52:04That's it, yeah.
52:05And this is interesting, because normally the master bedroom is very generous.
52:09Mm.
52:10Yours is, if I take kind of the footprint here, it's actually quite modest.
52:14It is.
52:15Oh, yeah.
52:16But if you open up the doors as you have here, you've got the whole deck.
52:18That's right, yeah.
52:19And do you imagine that you'll have the windows and doors open most of the time?
52:23Yes.
52:24Very good, yeah.
52:25That's just us, isn't it?
52:26Yeah.
52:27Leave the doors open like this, and that's just how you sleep on the balcony.
52:29Yeah, pretty much.
52:30You really are, sleeping on the balcony.
52:31Yeah, yeah.
52:32Can't get much more Queensland than that, can you?
52:33No, you can't.
52:34That's right.
52:35That's exactly right.
52:36Yeah.
52:41This house is a thing of beauty.
52:44But it's also a thing of strength, anchored above the flood line.
52:50But with its hose-out undercroft and tough ironbark timbers, it's resilient enough to withstand
52:56the water if the worst should ever come.
52:59It's quite an achievement.
53:04First thing I've got to say is congratulations on finishing.
53:07Yeah.
53:08Yeah.
53:09Looking at the house from here, I think it looks pretty great.
53:11Mm.
53:12Just saying.
53:13I mean, this is a homecoming, really.
53:14Yeah, yeah.
53:15How does it feel coming back?
53:16I wouldn't call it coming back.
53:18I'd call it going forward.
53:19Yeah.
53:20So we've sort of reinvented our lives and this property.
53:27Your brother's place next door here started after you started and finished way earlier.
53:33Yeah.
53:34Yeah.
53:35Well, not way earlier.
53:36He's only been in for a month or so.
53:37Yeah.
53:38Yeah.
53:39Was it worth the wait?
53:41It is to us.
53:42Yeah.
53:43Yeah.
53:44But on our journey, it's been worth it for us.
53:46Yeah.
53:47It did take a long time.
53:48Mm.
53:49You said initially 14 months.
53:51Mm.
53:5212 to 14 months, I think.
53:53Mm.
53:54Mm.
53:55And it took 29 months.
53:56Mm.
53:57Oh, stop it.
53:58Yeah.
53:59Yeah.
54:00Yeah.
54:01Extra time usually equals extra money.
54:02Yeah.
54:03You started off with one and a half million, I seem to recall.
54:06Yeah.
54:07As your budget.
54:08Yeah.
54:09Drum roll.
54:10Drum roll.
54:11Well, not, yeah.
54:12More.
54:13A little bit more than that.
54:14Yeah, more.
54:15Thanks, Jeanette.
54:16I've got to guess that.
54:17Yeah.
54:18How much more?
54:19Just to say two million?
54:20Yeah, north of two.
54:21Okay.
54:22Yeah.
54:23Just two and a half?
54:24No, just north.
54:25No, no, not two and a half.
54:26Oh, no.
54:27Okay, somewhere between two and two and a half.
54:28Yeah.
54:29So with that in mind, I mean, it's a beautiful outcome.
54:31Mm.
54:32And there's a lot of really intelligent and very clever things that have gone into this.
54:37Do you feel safe from the floods after going to all of this trouble?
54:41Do you feel safe?
54:42Yeah, I think.
54:43I do.
54:44Yeah, I do.
54:45Especially with all the in-ground works.
54:46Yeah.
54:47Very much so.
54:48Yeah.
54:49And I know that we are sitting on rock solid ground.
54:50Yeah.
54:51Can you hear about that?
54:52It's a mic right now.
54:53Hello, Ollie.
54:54Good to see you.
54:55This will all be yours one day.
55:12Thanks.
55:13You're so gorgeous.
55:14Thank you for doing all this.
55:15That's all right.
55:16You're very clever and I'm very proud of you.
55:18No problems at all.
55:19Okay.
55:20Come on through to the party.
55:21All right.
55:22Richard's heart dragged him home to the river, but he didn't leave his head behind.
55:31This house is a smart, pragmatic approach to the increasing issues of climate change.
55:37In their cool, open, airy home, he and Jeanette can sleep more soundly by the river.
55:50Great architecture, like art and fashion, is a response to the world in which we live.
56:05But Richard and Jeanette, with the help of James, have gone one better, pushing the boundaries of design, function and materials to create something that is not only practical, but beautiful and perfectly suited to its situation and its surroundings.
56:20So, let the rivers rise and let the winds speak.
56:23This home will welcome every ebb and is perfectly poised to go with the flow.
56:33The last one will welcome every ebb and is perfectly poised to pierce.
56:34This home will travel again to the water and is perfectly poised to go to the water and the water.
56:38The subject is a cup of the rain and is perfectly poised to a submarine.
56:40The water and is perfectly poised to the sea.
56:42The water and the water are super poised to the sea.
