So Wayne grew up in Australia:

"Describing how he became interested in handiwork, Wayne said: "I did my boyhood in Australia. I had early training. At grade three I started working at sheet metal work. So making things and building things has always been part of my life."

The pair began building the home, on which they are largely self-sufficient, so as to be closer to nature.

He added: "The idea that the two of us wanted to be somewhere out in the wilderness, and do our art, and be immersed in nature, because that’s where we get inspired.

"Freedom Cove gives us all the protection we need.

"We have the colours magenta and green throughout the whole place because they represent to us rebirth.

Among the recycled materials that make up the island are recycled fish farms for decking and a pair of whale ribs to form an archway."

And here is a YT video about them. I think it's all rather interesting and cool.
