This book looks exclusively at the finest examples of contemporary residences from Australian and New Zealand designers and architects. From award-winning luxury residences, to simple beach shacks, inner-city apartments, rural retreats and family homes, these 100 homes reflect the way we live, or aspire to live in the 21st century. This entirely new list of homes reflects the wide variety and originality of talent and design direction that is on offer in both countries, and just why the ˇ§Down Underˇ¨ vernacular is so appealing and influential around the world.
