New Australia Style
John Gollings

Australians have an enviable life linked to the outdoors - and nowhere is it better expressed than in its contemporary design. A distinctly Australian aesthetic has evolved, with outdoor zones and landscapes fully integrated into the domestic environment. This new style also combines bold forms in glass, mud brick, local timbers and corrugated iron with the influences of a diverse range of cultures, an appealing mix celebrated here in over 400 photographs.
Over fifty outstanding houses, apartments, restaurants and nightclubs are presented - from City, Suburb, Beach and Bush - featuring inner-city homes in Sydney and Melbourne, and garden villas in Adelaide and Perth, as well as beach hideaways and outback retreats. These inventive and inspiring buildings are a glorious celebration of the vitality of the way Australians live now.
John Gollings is one of Australia’s leading photographers. George Michell is the author of Architecture of the Islamic World and co-author of The Royal Palaces of India, both published by Thames & Hudson.
