This volume features more than 50 outstanding houses, as well as apartments, restaurants, hotels & nightclubs, at the cutting edge of Australian design. Their exteriors & interiors reveal a blend of influences from the diverse cultures of the country's population & Australia's own distinctively bold forms in glass, mud-brick & local timber.

With more than 400 colour photographs, the overall settings are described in text & followed by an inspirational parade of ideas, project by project. A comprehensive Style & Shopping Directory & an Index of Architects & Designers provide source material for the reader. ...
