"This sophisticated title by Anna Johnson presents a selection of 25 recent Australian houses by 19 contemporary Australian architects. The projects selected celebrate the idea of the monumental in domestic architecture, suggesting a drawing away from the typically climatic and neighbourhood orientated, to emphasize a return to the viewpoint of architecture as object. The houses cannot be classified as specifically regional architecture as their beauty and clarity can be viewed as much in an international context as in a national one. Each of the projects expresses an understanding of the Australian lifestyle and surrounds, while exploring fresh approaches to modernism and abstraction. A book that pays homage to the power and beauty of the house." ...(book review in AR Australia).
