A minimalist Torquay concrete house that was built during the Covid pandemic and can be seen in Grand Designs Australia has found new owners who will complete the project.
The house with three bedrooms in the 115a CoomBes RD was sold last week for USD 2.5 million after the property had returned to USD $ 3.9 million to USD price expectations at the end of last week.
McCartney Torquay Agent Tim Carson said that the buyers of Melbourne had in contact with the designer of the house, the renowned surf coast architect Lachlan Shepherd, during the purchase of the 4060 square meter property.

“We actually had a great interest in it during the campaign,” said Carson.
“Unfortunately it wasn't quite finished yet, but had a lot of potential and it was probably only a question of knowing the person who was ready to have a gap about it,” said Carson.
“There was a gentleman from Sydney who had made an offer, but he finished second. But these boys are very excited and very interested in getting in there and giving the property the grindle.
“I think that she also joined a little with Lachlan Shepherd, the architect who designed it.
“You have a few things to do with it, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what the end product will be as soon as you are finished.”
The light feature in the dining area is one of the few decorations that protrude from the concrete walls and ceilings.
Even the kitchen benches are concrete.
Sal and Fiona Riberra commissioned Shepherd to design the modernist house with three bedrooms on a Bush block 3 km from the beach.
The skateboard that is along the hallway is actively promoted thanks to the solid concrete structure that was filled by hand.
Expansive concrete walls create a gallery-like quality in the one-step house, which implements the view of the surrounding Buschland through room-high windows.
There is even a floating concrete bed frame in the main bedroom, a concrete desk in the study and a concrete bathtub.
The main living room looks into the garden, while a long run for skateboarding children was popular.
Huge windows move the outer light into the house.
The original vision of the Riberras to create a family entertainer plays in the central open hub with an open plan with a hanging Fire Place and the chemical -free swimming pool.
Mrs. Riberra previously told the Addy The house had a calming quality and, despite the perception, was possibly like a parking space, was warm warm with its underground heating.
“You have a brutalistic building, but all windows look at nature and you have a lot of trees,” she said.
“And there is a lot of really soft light that comes through and it is simply beautiful, it changes all day and even from season to season.”
The journey of the house showed for the first time in 2023 after the producers had shot the construction process of the house, which was wrapped after the start during the first two years of the Covid Pandemic.
