This book explores the uniquely Australian architectural feature: the verandah. From its historical roots in Spanish and Portuguese colonial designs to its adoption by British colonists, the verandah has become an essential element of Australian homes, offering shelter from the harsh climate.
Through stunning photographs, the book showcases the diverse forms of the verandah across the continent, from the elegant mansions to the functional structures in country towns and the simple huts of the outback. The book shows how the verandah provides shade, keeps buildings cool, and serves as a vital part of the Australian lifestyle.
