A Place in the Country is a stylish look at the new architecture of rural Australia and New Zealand. Forty-seven rural retreats have been superbly photographed and are presented in their natural settings; from bushland to mountain top, the lush tropics to open farmland - these designs are innovative as well as sensitive to their unique environments. Stephen Crafti, who is the best selling author of Beach Houses Down Under, comprehensively covers all styles: timber, concrete forms, steel construction and rammed earth housing and also conversion and renovation projects. This is fresh inspiration and practical information for anyone seeking or even just dreaming about a ‘treechange’.
