Excellent book with a large range of houses
Reviewed in the United States on 15 February 2011Verified Purchase
It is an excellent book. I bought one for myself and one for my parents it was that good. Great designs with the individual floor plans. To have floor plans is rare. A little information could have been given on materials used and why chosen and if people had tight budgets or open cheque books. Other than a little more info it is one of the better contemporary beach books around today. It is highly recommended.

Love this book have bought it as a gift many times for our American friends
Reviewed in the United States on 5 December 2009Verified Purchase
This book shows us a very good range of Australian modern architecture. I have bought it as a gift for our overseas friends many times. It's also a perfect size to ship not too large but large enough for a coffee table. Photography and layout is stunning!
