The home that achieved a remarkably low build cost of $320,000 AUD on Grand Designs Australia belongs to Rita and James, who constructed their sustainable, three-bedroom dwelling in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. What makes this project particularly notable is that it was built within an intentional community with extremely strict ecological and environmental guidelines, requiring a design that was both innovative and budget-conscious.
Architect Morten Pedersen helped them create a structure that prioritized sustainability and affordability by utilizing unconventional, low-cost materials and methods. The foundation was reportedly a unique mix of concrete with recycled plastic bags and milk cartons, while the home features an earthen floor made of local granite, pumice, and clay for year-round thermal comfort. In a major cost and environmental saving move, recyclable steel was used to replace traditional timber frameworks. The original budget was even lower at $230,000, and while they exceeded it by nearly $100,000, the final $320,000 price tag still stands out as one of the most affordable full builds ever featured on the series, demonstrating that grand ideas about sustainability and communal living don't always require an equally grand budget.
