Jungle Living in a Concrete Oasis: Inside a Builder's Own Concrete Bunker Home (House Tour)

- Inspired by jungle living and the whimsical idea of a spaceship crash landing into the landscape, Ground House 107R by David Fewson is a structure unlike any other. Beginning as a joint family effort, the guesthouse is complete with thoughtful design, build, furniture and artwork choices. The building is a precisely curated space in which one can find respite from urban living. With its charming jungle living experience, Ground House 107R sits on a section of undulating land surrounded by rainforest and is covered in a myriad of flora that helps it to disappear further into the land.
Starting from approach, the home’s calming yet magical ambience is first seen as it emerges over the ridge. First appearing as a brutalist compound of concrete, the guesthouse is softened by foliage that cascades over the sides of it like a form of art. Organic in its design, the structure features a bedroom, kitchen, living space and bathroom. As the house tour leads around the space, the open plan layout allows for an effortless flow to the outdoors and enforces the feeling of jungle living. In the bathroom, the view through the windowed wall offers a unique view of the home’s material make up. Additionally, the light that is gifted to the finished structure allows for the guesthouse to breath and emphasises the idea of jungle living.
Using only authentic and natural materials, David Fewson and his family have added an element of truth to the interior palette. Using a combination of concrete, real timber and brass, the architect and designers extend their idea of the home forming the shape of a crashed spaceship. Found only a few metres away, the hot tub is settled into the landscape and allows guests to immerse themselves further into jungle living.
At one with the landscape, Ground House 107R’s unique architecture and design elements offer a take on the bygone era and transports it to the contemporary age in which David Fewson hopes guest will find alluring. Located in northern New South Wales, the guesthouse is shrouded in a layer of secrecy that only deepens the charm and characteristics of the site. With its jungle living ideals and employed naturally made materials, Ground House 107R is a place in which serenity can be found in every detail.

I love how dedicated you guys are to find the best designs, I'm always in awe
Thank you so much, we appreciate it.
I like this one because he doesn’t sit there talking a bunch of nonsense. Clear on his intentions and inspirations, talked about the materials in a non dramatic manner, and commented on the subtle motifs that make it great.
What a charming character David is! I miss Australia.
The house is stunning. But it’s the landscaping that takes it to the next level.
What a gorgeous space, I love how the concrete mixes with the other textures and the nature.
The landscape and setting is absolutely phenomenal!
so cool how the local tradesmen/ mates chipped in. nothing like working together and collaborating with mates to make something like this happen
Fantastic home for a self build in a great location. The narration was a breath of fresh air.
Glad you enjoyed it Phil!
My thoughts exactly, what a legend, such class executed from innocent childhood inspiration.
What a talent David and the team are! I loved when he said his wife worked like Trojan on the garden and he loves her very much. ❤
i love when buildings have a personality. this is just beautiful
so refreshing not to have to listen a a wanky architect banging on about 'materiality' and 'how one experiences the space' bring on more Davids! what a guy, what a cracking house!
For real, so humble
Love this house. What really makes it is the planting and the way it makes the house look like it's growing out of the ground. Would love to stay there but I live in the UK so not likely.
Love this place and location. I like David's passion for design and his laid-back personality!
Us too!
I guess this is what heaven on earth looks like...love it
To me, the best about this house Is its simplicity
this house is fantastic. The vision he is describing is a really great way of telling about the ideas behind the house. Low key dude. I love it.
Beautiful home! I love the story behind that goes with the house. I love the gardens on top of the home and how the foliage hangs over the side of the roof. Because the home becomes a part of the beautiful landscape. It's such an oasis. Really fantastic!
This is how you make modern cozy!
I love these sliding doors. I prefer these to the stacking ones that you see in so many high end builds.
Loving the sci-fi narrative subtly weaved into this build. ⚡
The surrounding landscape is breathtaking ❤
TMI with the shower vibes bro
I have to admit . . . I loved the space from the opening shot. The opening shot drew my into the whole project.
Absolutly breathtaking
Amazing home and story. Your wife did a beautiful job on your gardens.
Such a great concept, and amazing execution. The perfect little home.
Beautiful, what a great construction in a fantastic looking setting, well done!
Una gran casa...de las mejores que he visto!!!
What a beautiful place. Thanks LP!
Our pleasure Matt!
Wow what an incredible home, simply stunning!
I love this so very much, absolute class. The finish is inspiring. I want to come stay ❤
You should!
Brilliant. Brutalist but warm. Love to see houses built to live it. Congrats mate.
This is absolutely wonderful 😮
VERY EXCELLENT and Dave is a breath of fresh air.
Ooh that one's a treat! Well done. I would stay there, for sure.
Absolutely stunning 💜💜💜! So respectful of nature - i just love it :-)
C'est magnifique
Wonderful space.
It is so beautiful.
Spectacular design. 🔥
Beautiful
your home is gorgeous
Perfection!
Absolutely amazing :)
Unreal !!!
Perfect
Spectacular!!
Love, love, the concrete.
Amazing house! Favourite house I've seen this year.. (except for the agapanthus!)
Beautiful land and a fascinating home I’d love to spend time in, plus a super cool guy I’d like to be friends with! Cheers from Alabama, David!
Loved him and appreciate the transparency and integrity behind creating and showcasing an airbnb, but one with a real soul. Sometimes we see videos of what are obviously airbnbs but seem to be spoken about in a more discreet way that feels disingenuous
Its incredible😮
Indah sekali
Benar benar tampak natural alami
Love this house!
the attention to detail
Good house
Amazing
100% Perfection
great works!
Incredible.
Holy shit David this is absolutely incredible
Even more stunning at night!
Вражаюче поєднання з природою
Low ceiling height; maybe 2.4 or 2.5m? Love this!
What an AMAZING house !!! Love it !!!🤩🤩🤩🧡
It really is!
nice!
This is sooo pretty, holy shit 😍
holy moly the lights at night
*_My college thesis was on Earth Integrated Architecture... been a fan for decades._*
amazing
Super cool place and dude you are a guy i could hang out with and share a beer!
очень круто
Did he say this is an Airbnb?! NSW, I'm coming!
Yep! 🙂
aside from their house the sourounding is perfect. clean air .
Those loads of projects I’ve seen, but this Chanel has a personality with characteristics like materials, attention to detail and the work is takes to consider expanding the concept of a door or of a roof or whatever. Is there a place I can get educated on these specific elements
Great place. Good job. Would LOVE to stay there one day.
You should!
How's this bloody legend!
Yep.
Its HEAVEN ✨️
Absolutely beautiful home. Im curious about Davids accent… while obviously not American, Im hearing an American southern twang too.
Modernist Hobbiton in the best way
Hi, building the skatepark in Byron currently. Would love to meet with David if possible love the use of concrete!
Cómo el artista austriaco Friedrich Hundertweisser ❤
AMAZING
Hello
I really like your way of making video's
But, can you put the Arabic captions please?
Could you please show some projects for cold climate? -20 or lower
The Local Project is an Australian mag. -20 degree climates don’t exist in Australia.
@@cboy0394 thanks, cap! I guessed Local could expand its activity out from Australia
THIS IS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
We think so too!
I wonder if thge floors are heated
Could I ask where I can find this house on Airbnb or a link to rent it. Thank you
concrete makes a home feels better when you make it intentional
Where’s the Airbnb link!!! I want to stay here!
Looks like the perfect thing to build in Minecraft 😂
Do yal think AI is gonna takeover jobs from architects?
Should paint the concrete green to blend in more
This build follows the story of a crash landed spaceship. Painting the concrete would hide the rawness and honesty of materials, as well as being some sort of tacky greenwashing attempt.
Did he just say his name is Daivid? Clean up yur filty mout.
Perfection!
It really is!
