The Terrace House edited by Cameron Bruhn and Katelin Butler.
Join Houses editor Katelin Butler and Architecture Media editorial director Cameron Bruhn as they discuss their new book The Terrace House.
The terrace house is a story of remarkable resilience. With British precedents and working-class origins, the Australian version of the terrace house was once the home of bohemian artists, share-housing students and urban trailblazers. Today, the terrace house is highly sought after for its nostalgic charm and inner-city locale. A new generation of homeowners is making their mark by working with architects and designers to reimagine the terrace house for a twenty-first-century lifestyle.
From subtle refinements to bold geometric forms, alterations and additions are often hidden from the street creating a sense of intrigue about what lies behind, above or beyond the romantic facade. The collection of homes in this book celebrates the incredible history and enduring appeal of these well-loved buildings.
The evening will be hosted by Melbourne architect David Wilkinson.
