Home without a garden transformed into stunning ‘grass house’ to be auctioned off

Londoners know all too well the heartache of not having a garden in flats we pay astronomical amounts for.

That means no barbecues, no quickie smoke, or even growing plant babies we love (and not having to squeeze them into a tiny balcony). But one house in Australia has found a quirky way to add some greenery.

Dubbed the ‘grass house’ this Melbourne home has shrubs adorned all over its exterior.

Owners can enjoy the wall garden that surrounds the facade of the house without having to lean out of their windows trying to water it.

The nature-filled wall is attached to an automated system connected to water tanks.

And the inside of the property is just as striking. The stunning two-bedroom house boasts plenty of natural light, geometrical walls, and a very modern bathroom.

All that sunlight certainly makes growing indoor plants pretty easy too as the windows aren’t obscured despite the external greenery.

The property in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy was formerly a garage before it was subdivided off.

The owner then enlisted the help of architect David Luck who turned it into the green haven it is now.

Estate agent James Pilliner said: ‘The owner wanted something contemporary and easy to live in. This was put forward and it came out really well.’

The oversized bedrooms are on the bottom floor with an ensuite tiled bathroom that boasts a rainforest-style shower.

If you head upstairs you’ll find an open-plan living room with vaulted ceilings next to the kitchen which has stainless steel benchtops.

Despite the property being a tiny 46sqm block, the architect has fitted in a discreet laundry area and a private undercover terrace.

Australian folks looking for a green new home can get their hands on the stuff via an auction.

The home, built five years ago, is expected to attract first-time buyers due to its eco properties.

It is expected to fetch $800-850,000 (£423,410.53) at auction on 23 November.
