Home & Garden

This is the paperback edition of the hardback first published in May 2000. If there is one thing that symbolises the Australian and New Zealand way of life, it is leisure time in a weekend house, preferably near the sea. It is with utter abandon that families dedicate themselves to the pursuit of sport, swimming or just relaxation. The houses they build are moderate in size and cost to construct, their predominant aim being to maximise a sense of freedom and ease of use in open spaces, both inside and outside the house. One can only marvel at the perseverance of the architects and their clients who produced the work in this book!
