Description
'Bush Modern' is a recently coined term characterising houses in the bushy north-eastern fringe of Melbourne which were built by a range of builders and designers such as Alistair Knox and Sibbel Builders.
This books features renovated houses integrated with their local landscape and showcases simple homes built 'of the land' from mud bricks and recycled timber, and which captured the mood of those searching for an alternative way of life close to nature.
The movement to Melbourne's suburbs gathered momentum by the 1970s and the houses shown are examples of homes which have been returned to their rustic modern state after being re-discovered by new owners.
