The home has a pool.

The couple lived in a caravan with their three children for almost a year while undertaking the project. The Foxtel LifeStyle channel presenter Peter Mad­dison suggested it was “a uniquely Aussie version of a modernist building”.

“It’s incredible because they’ve put so much energy into creating a most ­unlikely building given their budget,” Maddison said.
