Tonight, in a dramatic, emotional, and heart-wrenching season finale episode of Grand Designs Australia, the homeowners’ build and all their dreams go up into smoke weeks before reveal.
Will they be able to rise from the ashes?
Building a house comes with enormous difficulties and architects Marc and Felicity Bernstein had no idea how stressful it would become when they set out to transform a toxic remnant of land in Melbourne into a designer sanctuary.
With a small budget but high hopes of creating a passive eco home built to the highest environmental standards they get to work, collecting bricks and budget materials to create their masterpiece.
With money tight they decide to move into a campervan with their three kids for the build process. As the months turn to years and the finances run perilously low, what started as a fun adventure quickly sours.
Then, with only weeks before they are finally due to move into their remarkable home and reveal for Grand Designs Australia, the unimaginable happens – their house burns down.
The family are left devastated with the tragedy potentially destroying their dreams, their spirit, and their finances forever! Will the Bernstein family be able to rise from the ashes…?
