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.
