Inside a Builders House with Unique and Unusual Interior Spaces (House Tour)

- Berson House is a builders house that challenges the traditional narrative of a home in terms of structure, materiality and purpose. Drawing on the impactful nature of unique and unusual interior spaces, Monster Ideas Architects turns an existing pre-1945 house into a bold, multi-functional home.
Solidifying its strong approach from the outset, Berson House’s façade stands out in Norman Park with its geometric and demanding street presence. Craig Webster from Monster Ideas Architects overcomes initial barriers with ingenuity, tasked with a steep, challenging site in an uninhabitable state. While the new development was limited to two levels, this was overcome by moving the form up the slope of the site to create a large-scale, five-storey structure.
As the builders house, the design aspires to do something different and daring. Along with three children’s bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, a wine cellar and an isolated retreat for the parents, each level hosts a range of distinct features, including a two-storey climbing wall, an indoor soccer field and a 20-metre lap pool. The pool is thoughtfully integrated with the lower floors and has been punctuated with beautiful large windows so you can see the pool from the street, the kid's bedrooms and the wine cellar.
Materiality and furnishings keep with the bold, unorthodox theme of the builders house - contemporary, modern injections dominate alongside darker, moody tones. Tongue & Groove’s natural grade European Oak Timber in a narrow-board style is used for soffit lining and bathroom ceilings, with wider boards installed on the floors. These timber planks are also incorporated into the custom dining table in the wine cellar. The Tongue & Groove timber supports the dark interior by injecting warmth into the space, counterbalancing the coldness of the concrete and the sharpness of the black, charred ironbark timber walls.
Spatial dimensions within the builders house have been re-engineered to welcome a modern lifestyle. Every part of Berson House is about maximising space and removing corridors. For example, the living, dining, kitchen and terrace are each a quadrant. The home’s elevated position helps connect the house to the surrounding panoramic views of suburbia in one direction and across the city to the west. In a way, the residence becomes transparent, with large windows and doors featured heavily throughout, which also welcome in light and provide ventilation.
Berson House evokes an experience of the home that is unlike any other. It is simultaneously refined, playful, bold and innovative. This builders house seamlessly re-invents a bygone house into something that is daringly modern and willing to make a statement.

Well said!
The home itself is very fun yet stunningly beautiful!! That wine cellar with the pool view was the highlight of this home! Just love it!
Plus, the kids enjoy the outside activities inside makes it even more fun! Thank you so much Local Project!
Thank you so much!
Don’t think no words can express how beautiful those works are. I’m soo stunned
fr this house is like a mini-resort
this channel makes Australia seem nice
This is such a beautiful house!
Amazing home. Well done to the builder/owner and the designers.
Amazing house! Congratulations to all , owner, architect and interior designer!
This is beautifully designed
What an amazing property to share. The transformation from what is still on Apple Maps street view to this is something special to be able to appreciate. Hats off to Aurelien. Such an inspiration!
Definitely an incredible transformation 👏
Thanks for your appreciation to this complex job
One of my favourites, spectacular
The first ever really impressive house.
I wish this dad and his kids wonderful memories in this unique house❤
Now this is Architecture and building at its finest , the flow , the use of material and lighting as well as functionality for the client is absolutely amazing . Well done to the builder , owner. designers all involved.
again, the editing on this video is immaculate! good job to the editor! excellent audio selection and arrangement especially on the last part.
An amazing home. Kudos to the architect, designer and also the owner/builder. Dream team and a dream house . I enjoyed every part of it.
We agree!
Great jobs guys.
What an absolutely gorgeous home! Lust worthy but in the best of ways. So many ideas that have come together with perfection. Ok! My favorite ever! Thank you for sharing this!
This is one of my favorite projects I have seen you guys cover. Its beautiful
Beautiful home! Must be lovely in summer😀
Of all the beautiful houses this channel has shown, this one is the closest to what I wanted to build in a specific lot I owned a few years back. I've since sold it though. Nevertheless I'm always on the lookout for lots with steep inclines, such as this one, which maximize views.
Brilliant designed-definitely inspiring to make and live in.
Incredibly creative designs which were well executed. What a beautiful home. ❤
Amazing. The house is mesmerising, inspirational to what we can build in our homes and I'm in love. Well done!
We love that you're feeling inspired 🙌
Beautiful house and great architecture design enjoy for many years to come
Bravo a toi Aurélien pour avoir entrepris un tel projet. Certainement une maison (- que dis-je une residence!) à couper le souffle! C'est probablement une réalisation rare et merci d'en avoir fait profité tes amis (et amis d'amis) et maintenant tout le monde par cette vidéo. Excellent travail de visite en mouvement, avec prises de vue, de montage et contribution des acteurs (combien de prises avec les enfants?) ainsi que bande son et générique bien léché. On pourra regretter le léger sentiment du roi seul dans son château (où est passé madame?) et qu'avec un ciel bleu (pourtant pas rare à Brisbane) l'effet n'en serait que plus impactant! Bon, on ne va pas parler de bilan carbone cette fois, mais j'espère revoir à l'avenir vos prochaines production, ayant eu la chance d'admirer l'ndéniable talent la beauté et le style d'une précédente maison. À suivre..
what an amazing home. Kudos to the designer and the builder for implementing the ideas
Beautiful
That's really comfortable and convenient dream house I think 😍😍.Really love how gorgeous, elegant, and absolutely playful this house which can make all the people in that house stay very long time without worried to be boring. Another great shot from this channel - always inspiring and entertaining with beautiful angle from the video. Keep going and let's hit 1 million subs !!
😇
Stunning!
Sensacional 👏🏼
Bravo Mon pote
Wow!! beautiful home!!!!
Amazing home loved it. Thank you for sharing
00:48 Just...wow!
What a wonderful house!
Such a masterpiece ❤
I thought it was cold at first, but seeing the rest of the home, flooring, batten, wood staircase, etc. it's simply stunning. Beautifully done -- and gorgeous views!
Вау, очень крутой проект и великолепная реализация!!! Bravo 👏🏼 Bravo 👏🏼 Bravo 👏🏼
This is the greatest "normal" home I've ever seen! Everything is great from the moss wall to the fans, hanging plants etc. Better then homes much bigger and costing way more!
Five stories, four-car-garage, 20 m pool and an indoor soccer field - yes, definitely a „normal“ home 😂
@@JonoConstantini Normal as in normal-sized and cost home that a normal upper-middle class person is within reach of. It's 5 stories but really meant to be 2 stories, 20m pool but more narrow than a normal pool. Soccer "room" not a soccer "field". If you look at all the rooms they are relatively small as you hear people saying in the comments but they are so well designed that they make such great use of the space.
For instance the wine cellar can only hold 2 chairs side by side but the pool window was a great idea because it made the room look much bigger. A really wonderfully designed house
It’s not a question of the size of the house. Just the cost of the custom windows and doors this house has is probably equivalent to the cost of a ‘’normal’’ sized home for an upper middle class family in a developed country. It’s much cheaper to build a big pool on flat land than to incorporate it on a slope IN THE HOUSE. This house is beautifully designed but has probably cost a fortune. 💸💸💸
@@tijedemetal Good point!
Freaking amazing!
Wow!!!
Hello Frenchie ! :)
This is a home!!!
Would love to see what they could do with a piece of land I've lusted for since childhood. Think they'd have a great time
If you don't mind my asking, where's it?
@@sergiosaunier 2964 briarcliff Rd NE. Not many pictures sadly. I will try and get some soon. Hope they don't start building generic homes on the lot
@@observantmonkey4055 Is this in Atlanta, Georgia?
@@martinXY yes it is. An amazing piece of land.
@@observantmonkey4055 It was sold a month ago.
Love
❤❤❤inspired
I’ve got you fellow, you’re french just as me with that accent so recognizable 😂
Builders make so much money......
Inelegant
oh yes!
Great vid! Music overdub was too loud, could barely make out what was being said.
Amazing project, flawless. Such a shame we have nothing but crap in the UK.
New subscriber ♥️♥️♥️
Welcome!
Una casa que da respuesta a mayores y pequeños. Elegante, práctica y para vivirla.
This one looks interesting 😯😯
😍😍😍
Please tell me who the music is by please
Good luck finding things in that house!! I have a 3 storey house that's probably 1/20th the size of this, and I can literally NEVER find things when I put them away in a cupboard or drawer!
Seriously, remember that little 'thing' you put away a few weeks ago, that you now need again.........WHERE IS IT????
Look on the bright side. (1) Inspires one to become more organised. (2) If it can't be found, it wasn't needed. (3) Free cardio workout while looking for it. Stairs are the best.
@@martinXY HahaHa!.... Re(2) believe me, I've been looking for the last 2 days for one of my tools to repair a broken water pipe which I haven't used for a couple of years! It is certainly NEEDED! But after looking in every cupboard, drawer & box on all three floors of my house, it has still NOT been found! So...... good luck to this chap!😂
cool and i love how fun the pool and climbing room is, wine cellar is lovely, but... this just feels like a hotel? where's art? souvenirs, family objects, spaces to leave messes, little nic nacs, give it some life! i understand everyone has different taste but... this just doesn't feel lived in or fun to live in...
how much?
I just want to listen to him speak 😂😂😂😂
what kind of builder? sign me up
This home is gorgeous. That pool! Unfortunately, I had to watch the video without sound because the music was too much, very distracting and I couldn't really hear what was being said 🙁
The music is too loud - please tone it down to give a more pleasant experience to watch the video (which is very interesting BTW)
A beautifully designed building. But comes across as very cold and sterile. I could not raise a family there and call it a home.
Has a very high end private airport lounge feeling. Or an expensive airbnb rental designed for those incredible Instagram photos.
It could very well become a home if they put something as simple as family photos on the walls, vibrant art, (not just a nature poster on the wall of the mini football room).
But with that said it's still a beautiful design and a wonderful example of how people can have totally different tastes but still create great things.
I could not get through the video. The music is so annoying. Could you please tone it down so we can follow the narration?
Music is too loud. For non-English speakers it's almost impossible to hear what he says.
the change to fast-paced/upbeat music has made the videos feel rushed, otherwise great work!
🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🧡
Overall a nice house and I like many ideas, but the rooms seem cramped and the black exterior and interior is an absolute turn-off.
That’s some solid craftsmanship, but the design is too crowded imo, too many different shapes, angles, ideas. And yes, „store“ your kids next to the wine and cheese in the basement, how kind.
Okay, seriously? Am I the only one who thinks that every LP video has people raving about how amazing the house is and how it's the best one on the channel? I mean, sure, some of them are pretty cool, but they all kind of blend together after a while. Personally, I prefer homes that are warm, inviting, and have a special vibe, like Casa Rosa. But this one? Ugh. It just feels so cold and masculine with its giant size, pool with a view of the wine cellar, and all that black. Who wants to play football in a room like that anyway? It's hard to put my finger on it, but it just feels lifeless and lacking in energy. Like, seriously bad vibes coming from it.
Interesting opinion. Nevertheless it seems to go against pretty much every other comenter here. Which is great, by the way. But I think you and I can agree that this channel shows some of the best houses in Australia and New Zealand. Maybe not this one for you. As for me? I thought it was exquisite from top to bottom.
That room seems ideal for futsal practice. Also, it could be repurposed at any time: Put some carpet on the floor and a billiard table and you have a billiards room. Have a bare concrete floor, paint the walls black, have some wall attachments for chains and handcuffs, and you have a vivid imagination.
Too much money and to small brain. Architecture is messy
It is hard to understand why someone with such financial resources and expertise in construction would build such a house. The house is wasteful in its use of natural resources, particularly the expansive use of energy intensive concrete.
Also, the house layout appears to waste a considerable amount of space with too many stairs and hallways, special purpose rooms, and rooms that have space for the sake of space. The kitchen would be a headache to cook in, walking between the fridge, sink, stovetop, oven, and counter top.
The house is not “cost effective” or efficient, but mostly ostentatious. It lacks the feeling of a true home.
Whoever picked that ATROCIOUS squeegee "music" needs to get his ears checked. Had to stop watching the video, absolutely unbearable. What are you thinking?
