Australian residential architectural styles have evolved significantly over time, ranging from the relatively inexpensive and imported corrugated iron basins (which can still be seen on the roofs of historic homes) to more sophisticated styles that borrowed from other countries, such as the Victorian style of England, the Georgian style of North America and Europe as well as the California bungalows of the United States. A common feature of Australian homes is the use of fences in the front garden, also common in the UK and the United States. The climate also affects the style of housing, with balconies and porch spaces becoming more prevalent in subtropical Queensland due to the warm and mild winters experienced in the state. Over the years, Australian homes have been built with little understanding of Australia's climate and are broadly dependent on the unsympathetic European style of the Australian landscape. In recent years, modern Australian residential architecture has reflected the country's climate conditions, with adaptations such as double glazing and triple windows, coordination considerations, use of east and west shade, adequate isolation, strongly considered to provide comfort to residents.
Another aspect of Australian suburbia is that the suburbs tend to have a combination of both upper middle class and middle class housing in the same neighborhood. In Melbourne, for example, an early observer noted that "a poor house stands side by side with a nice house." This is somewhat less common today, with home renovations, gentrification and demolition (the "knock down, rebuild" method) becoming increasingly common in prosperous suburbs, providing a wider distinction between rich and lower-class areas. However, the demolition technique has led home buyers to buy older soil or homes in poorer metropolitan areas and build up-and-out luxury homes, failing to match the remaining houses on the road.
Since architectural styles have varied in the country over the years (from villas to bungalows and bricks), there is little inconsistency in the flow of the architecture of suburban streets, with one author noting that Australian housing styles sometimes "resonate together" and "live side by side "awkwardly. It's less common in the United States and Britain, where most homes along the road are built around the same time, usually in the same style.

Because the architectural style varies in Australia over the years (from villas to bungalows and bricks), there is little inconsistency in the architecture flow of suburban streets, with one author noting that the Australian housing style tends to arrive and coexist awkwardly. This is less common in the United States and Britain, as most homes have long been well built into the 19th century and reflect similar styles in both areas. Home planners and architects in Australia have suggested adapting a new home style similar to the established homes around it to create a sense of uniformity.
"In Australia, artificial life backgrounds are all highs and lows, and modern stupidity in colorful bricks can sit next to a Georgian mansionette on one side and a reasonable architectural exploration work on the other."

Pre Colonial 30,000 BCE - 1788 CE
Indigenous Australians have traditionally been largely sedentary, on top of an area, depending on the availability of certain food items that can be collected at different times throughout the year. They manage the land through which they travel with a biennial burning that inhibits the growth of the forest and encourages the grasslands from which the seed and kangaroo plants can be harvested.
The housing of people who first encountered Europeans in the Sydney area was a simple shelter (commonly known as "Wurlies") built of semi-circle sticks, covered with large bark sheets that could easily be stripped of Melaleuca trees that grew in along the waters. Other types of visible simple structures include lean-tos and in tropical raised sleeping platforms. Grass, leaves and reeds are used as straw where suitable bark is not available.
There are several isolated examples of indigenous peoples who built partly using the dry stone wall technique in Western Australia. Aboriginal people also built the largest dry-stone Fish Trap, starting more than 500 meters, on the Barwon River in Brewarrina. His age is unknown. It has been preserved and rebuilt after the floods many times and is said to have traditionally been given to the local tribes by the Spirit of the Creator.
Apparently in relation to such a scheme of catchment, there may be a settlement of nearby sedentum from those who defend it. There is evidence at Lake Condah in Victoria houses along with eel traps dating back around 8,000 years.
In January 2006, a wildfire uncovered another site near a stone house village large enough to provide sleeping space for some families.
Ancient Colonial Period 1788 - c. 1840
Colonial Architecture is a term used for buildings built in Australia between European settlements in January 1788 and around 1840.
The first buildings of the settler settlement of England in Sydney were prefabricated houses for the Governor and a self-made Government Shop to accommodate the colony's inventory. Sydney is a tent settlement. Building something more substantial is made unnecessary by the poor quality of the shovels and axes that have been provided and the lack of spikes.
Prisoners adapted simple country techniques used for animal shelters and local materials available to make hut-and-squatting huts. What is particularly useful is the local acacia tree for weaving a shelter named Gelambir . Some of the pipe clay is obtained from coves around Port Jackson. The bricks are fired in a wood fire and therefore soft. Lime for cement is obtained by burning oyster shells.
The first imported roofing material is a corrugated iron sheet. This type of roof is part of the Australian regional language. Over the years, imported roofs are very limited. Two local roofing materials are available - there is an extensive reed bed near the Cook river for straw making. There are also barks that can peel off a number of native trees in large sheets. Methods of heating and smoothing of the skin are used by Aboriginal people and these are quickly assimilated by prisoners builders.
The two most significant trees, both grown in the Sydney area, are Melaleuca and Iron Bark. Melaleuca bark, which has a paper texture, can be peeled from a tree up to 2 cm thick, one meter long and maybe half a meter wide without serious damage to the tree. Although not very durable as an exterior roof, this material provides excellent insulation and is used for ceilings and lining the walls.
The flexible skin of the iron-rod tree is adapted as the main building material everywhere the trees grow. It is widely used as roofing material, weather resistance, insulation and can last for thirty years. The ax-hewn house houses with iron roofed roofs continued to be built in the Australian countryside until World War II.
As better tools become available, the Colonial builders become adept at working with real hardwood hardwoods that are very hard and durable. Most homes are built of round wood instead of sawn timber. The technique used for the construction of a wall is to engrave a deep groove in a straight log, preferably from the local Cypriot termite-resistant pine that is the foundation. Separate the dipped logs flat on the edges and then stand in a curve and another curve is placed on top and placed in a circular corner post. The gap between the separate logs is filled with clay and animal fur or has a narrow piece of metal scrap from a kerosene can taped over it. The interior can be plastered with clay, coated with paperbark or paperboard with newsprint, wrapping paper or calico. Cards, photos, news clippings and warning items are often stuck directly to the wall.
Technique of making hardwood shingle roof is also developed. Where these shingles have been applied to brick houses, they occasionally survive until the 21st century, covered by subsequent corrugated iron roofs.
In the early houses the windows are usually small, and multi-panels with cylindrical glass. When the cost of glass makes it far beyond the reach of homeowners, curtains of greasy calico are affixed to window openings in the winter.
Building type
The simplest houses are one room, which, if the winner of the bread is prosperous, becomes the kitchen for a more substantial residence, or vice versa, being a living room with a sloping kitchen added. The gradually growing houses are generally not symmetrical, with doors leading to the original room.
The planned house is generally symmetrical, and very simple, usually containing 2 to 4 rooms around the central aisle. The kitchen is often separated and entered from the back verandah or closed corridor where the kitchen or slaughtering may also be located. The fireplace is projected out of the wall of the house. Except in the case of some small houses in the center of a city built of brick, homes generally have porches added to them, often on three sides.
One class of people who maintain the traditions of pial and daub, with a leather roof are squatters who have no rights to their land, and potentially have to move every two years.
Only a few of the 19th-century wooden beams and stumps that have survived. A small number of split wooden cottages that later became a kitchen can be seen adjacent to a larger house, generally painted to fit the house and almost unrecognizable.
Most of the buildings that were established in the first 50 years of Australian settlement were simple and simple. Convict lodges, maritime barracks, government shops, and houses for officials are simple rectangular prisms covered in closed or pointed roofs, often with verandas supported on wooden columns by Classical way. They are influenced in particular by British military building regulations in India and other tropical locations.
At the time of the first settlement, Georgian architecture was an architectural language in England. Craftsmen, including carpenters and plasters, are trained in the classical proportions associated with the fashionable Palladian style throughout Europe. The ideals of Palladian reveal themselves in some of the larger homes of the Regency period such as "Elizabeth Bay House". Neoclassical which incorporates not only the Greek motif but sometimes Ancient Egypt, beginning in Europe around 1760, also influenced the Australian architectural style. "Fernhill" in Mulgoa with its wide scattered veranda shows the influence of Neoclassicism. As the Australian economy develops and settlements become more established, more sophisticated buildings emerge.

- The Gothic Awakening
1840-1880
The United Kingdom, where Australia is an integral part, is heavily influenced by Anglican religion. This in turn was influenced by the 19th century teaching of the Oxford and Cambridge Movements that believed Gothic architecture to be the purest and most true form. According to these English movements, this is the only way to achieve spiritual communication with God through architecture. So while a local figure might build his house in a classic style, he will fund a church in Gothic style. So, during the 19th century, as Australia progressed, two architectural forms were very real: Gothic and Classical style. Originally Gothic is for God, and Classical for the man. Later, a new "homemade" Australian citizen began to emerge, unhindered by the classical English education that dictates the classical interests of the gentleman. This "new" homemade man (like his contemporaries in England) often chose Gothic as a design for his home.
The great cathedrals of the Middle Ages during the Gothic Period ecclesiastical architecture shaped the inspiration for this particular architectural style; not only in residential buildings, but in many commercial structures, churches and cathedrals were built during this time. St. Anthony's Cathedral Paul and St. Patrick in Melbourne is an excellent example of the Gothic Awakening Age, often referred to as the Gothic Victorian. Its characteristics are: steep roofs often made of slate, narrow doors and windows broken in a Gothic-tipped arch at their altitude (known as lancet windows), glass panels to glass windows mimic the effects of stained glass, and complicated parapets, often times of the religion of nature, with the cross. In non-porch houses, the living room is often pulled forward, adding bay windows to the front of the house.
- The Beginning, Central and End of Victoria
1845-1900
Victoria's style in Australia can be divided into 3 periods: Beginning, Middle and End. The period as a whole extends from 1837-1901 and is named after Queen, Queen Victoria. The early style featured symmetrical layouts and faÃÆ'§ades, front doors located at the center and corrugated iron roofs, leading to the veranda at faÃÆ'§ade. During the 1850s iron artwork came to Australia, where it made its way to the Mid and Late Victorian Homes with many of the same floor plans as the Colonial Style, a central aisle with 4 standard rooms. Weather boards are often used, although larger homes use red bricks and blue stones. In the Mid Victorian Style, the decor is gaining popularity. The caged front porch was introduced, additional space was added on both sides of the front door, and terraced homes sprang up everywhere, containing barriers and detailed dividing walls between property boundaries. The Late Victorian Style House may have the most decorative features in all known architectural styles to date, often referred to as Boom Style. Toward the end of the Victorian era, wood carvings are increasingly being used, leading to the Edwardian/Federation Style.
From the 1840s, certain building styles appeared in Queensland. The Queensland-style houses are recognizable by large verandahs and large double doors that open onto these verandas, the stage rises above the ground (especially in old houses), the metal roofs are usually of wavy design and the houses are always made of wood.
Styles during this period are: Georgia, District, Egypt, Academic Classics, Free Classics, Filligree, Mannerist, Second Empire, Italy, Romanesque, Gothic Academic, Gothic Free, Tudor, Gothic Rustic and Gothic Carpenter. Of these fifteen styles, the following seven are typically used for residential architecture:
Georgia
Rumah bergaya Georgia pada abad ke-19 adalah sederhana, elegan dan formal dalam gaya.
Kabupaten
The Regency style is a refinement of Georgia, with elaboration like a porch with columns in front of the house.
Filigree
As housing grows in Australia, the porch becomes important as a way of sheltering the house. From the mid-19th century in particular, as people became more prosperous, they built more elaborate homes, and one of the preferred elaborations was the filigree, or screen, of cast iron or wrought iron. It evolves to the point where it has become one of the major features of Australian architecture. Many homes with this feature are also considered Italian architecture, filigree elements into wrought iron balconies.
Italianate
The Italian style was developed as a result of French painters who idealized the Italian landscape and turned it into their Arcadia version. Their influence lasted long and eventually led to the style of Italian architecture of the 19th century. This style displays the asymmetry and, usually, a tower of varying sizes. In Australia, the addition of the veranda, sometimes flowed but later in Filigree (wrought iron), gives a regional feel to the style.
Gothic Free
Gothic style gained support from the early days of Queen Victoria's reign. Free Gothic became a popular choice for architects and their clients because it did not care about historical truth and therefore gave them greater freedom in their designs. The style is much-loved for religious buildings, but is sometimes used in residential architecture as well.
Tudor
The Tudor style grew out of nostalgia for Old English, especially focused on the time of Queen Elizabeth I and Henry VIII. His role in Australia began when British architect Edward Blore designed the Government House in Sydney in 1834. This style spread throughout Australia and also influenced by later styles such as the Queen Anne Federation and the Old English Inter-War.
Rustic Gothic
The Gothic Rustic style developed from a "beautiful cult" largely focused on rural drawings and especially the beautiful "country house", later known as orn cottages. In Australia, this style has a great appeal to British settlers who still carry with them crave English things.

The Second Empire is preferred for the magnificent stately home. For the rich, especially in the richer parts of the larger metropolitan area, that style evokes the image of the French aristocracy. Although rare, examples can be found in big cities. Typical features include tower, quoining, mansard and roofing slate, square dome roof windows, iron symbols and rich classic detail. In the Australian setting, the domestic interpretation of the style is often combined filigree elements such as cast iron verandas.
Period federation c. 1890 - c. 1915
The Edwardian style was named after King Edward (1901-1910) at the time, and was the dominant force in Great Britain and its colonies. This style refers to elements of the Victorian era and the early styles of Queen Anne in the early 18th century. Edwardian style coincides with the Australian Federation. Thus, the Federation style is, in general, an Australian version of the Edwardian, but distinct from Edwardian in the use of Australian motifs, such as kangaroos, sunrise (Federation), and emu, flora and geometric designs of Australia. Some of the best known Federation/Edwardian features include a red brick exterior with adorned woody details known as carvings. Cream painted feature decorative wood, high chimney all common. Stained glass windows leading to the front of the house became increasingly popular during this period. Internally, the features of the Victorian era are still visible, including plastering of ceilings and cornices and skirting wood and architraves. The federation style describes the look of the Tudor type, especially on the gable, and Edwardian gives a simpler cottage look. Terracotta or galvanized iron tiles are generally used for roofs, designed with steep fields. The saddle roof and rooftop roofs often feature wooden brackets, and the detailing of wood and carvings is a common inclusion on the veranda.
Some people assume that this style is a federated version of the Queen Anne style. Other styles during this period were the Classical Academic Federation, the Free Classical Federation, the Filligree Federation, the Anglo-Dutch Federation, the Romanesque Federation, the Gothic Federation, the Gothic Carpenter Federation, the Federation Warehouse, the Free-Federation Federation, the Federation of Arts and Crafts and the Federation of Bungalow. The names all show a style very similar to the features so as to separate them. Of the twelve styles of the Federation, only the following four are typically used in residential architecture:
Queen Anne Federation
Federation of Arts and Crafts
The Arts and Crafts style comes out of the movement to move away from mass production and rediscover human and handmade touches. The architectural style is characterized by rough walls, shingles, lined windows, stone bases, tall chimneys, high-pitched roofs, and overhanging roofs. It was widely used in Australia during the Federation period.
Federation Bungalow
Bungalow style is usually a one-story house with a prominent veranda, especially with the roof covering the veranda. This is seen as a transitional phase between the Federation period and the California bungalows.
Filigree Federation
Philigri style is characterized by the creation of the screen as a standout style in front of the house. In the Victorian period, screens were made of wrought iron, but in the federation period it was made of woodcarvings, which can be very complicated. It is widely used in Queensland as a way of providing shade and air circulation for a home.
Inter Period -The war c. 1915 - c. 1940
The styles that existed during the 1915-40 period included Edwardian, Georgia Revival, Classical Academy, Free Classics, Bungalow, Mediterranean, Spanish Mission, Art-Deco, Gothic Skyscraper, Romanesque, Gothic and Old English.
California Bungalow
1915-1940 This style can be directly recognized by columns that hold the front porch area. His name is almost clear: bungalow, rough house type. This led to the belief that the wooden fences looked appropriate on the front fence, although initially they were not used. Darker colors were originally used, but as the years progressed, the bright new paint served as a pleasant change to open space and brighten the house. Stones, bricks and wood, materials made of soil are used. The saddle gear faces forward or side always.
Ashgrovian 1930 and so on
Initially specific to Queensland, [Ashgrovian Style developed from a hipped bungalow style and characterized by the front with a large saddle roof, often surrounded by smaller secondary roofs at the back, smaller roofs usually protect the veranda and sleep-out. A ladder almost always dominates the front page to the porch.
Spanish Mission
1925-1939
Differently recognized by the gyre pole to the verandah area covering the front door, usually the windows are grouped threes to the side of the front door area in simpler homes. The style influenced by the Spanish American population influenced the style of American Architecture. Brick walls in accordance with the rules of the board at the time, with white plaster cream finishing or yellowish cream and Spanish terracotta tiles.
1915-1940 Old English style involves certain nostalgic for English ways, and tends to draw on Tudor and similar British styles such as vaguely back to the time of Henry VIII. It had a certain appeal for what was still an Anglo-Saxon-dominated population at the time.
Early Moderne
1930-1940 A very modern looking style at the time, inspired by the German movement known as the Bauhaus, represents both functional and clinical architecture. Brick red or cream walls â € <â € Moderne Style Streamline is the final branch of Art Deco style. This style emphasizes curved shapes, long horizontal lines, and sometimes nautical elements, such as fences and window shutters. This style was adopted into the suburban architecture, especially in the style of Waterfall.
Post-War Period c. 1940 - 1960
Austere
The Austere style reflects the lack of availability of construction materials and labor in the years following World War II.
Waterfall (Art Deco) 1940 - 1950
Modern, fashionable houses from the thirties in the Moderne Streamline style are sometimes described as like marine coatings, with walls, windows and balconies sweeping across corners. In the 1940s these details were entrenched in suburban designs. The 'Waterfall' or 'Waterfall Front' styles begin to be known as from the use of downhill curves in chimneys, fence pillars and other vertical elements. Robin Boyd, the Australian architect and author, notes that three are 'keys to intelligent intelligence'; three steps are usually used to effect waterfalls and display the parallel lines that are often threes.
Determining the features of the house from this period is a curved corner window, including Venetian blinds, some rare examples that are curved. With a roof that is slightly steeper than the Early Modern Styles, this style is generally made of brick veneer cream but can also have dark brown brick feature that is inserted into the external wall, and below the window sill. The chimneys are trampled or mediocre, and together with the round window may give meaning to the name "Waterfall".
Ecclesiastical, International, Melbourne Regional, Brisbane Regional dan American Colonial juga merupakan gaya yang ada pada periode 1940-1960.
Gaya internasional
The Rose Seidler House built by Harry Seidler for his parents between 1948 and 1950 in Sydney included modernist open planning features, minimal color schemes, and new labor-saving devices to Australia at the time. The house won the Sir John Sulman Medal in 1951 and is preserved as a museum as a very influential house. [1]
After the second World War, architects in Australia were influenced by the development of International-style architecture. Several regional variations were developed. In Melbourne, Robin Boyd and Roy Grounds articulate Melbourne's interpretation of the modern style. Victorian Modern's (1947) book traces the history of architecture in the state of Victoria and describes the architectural style it hopes will be a response to the local environment as well as the popular international style. In particular he nominated the work of Roy Grounds and in some suburban bush houses in the 1930s as an early stage of such a style. Grounds and Boyd then work in partnership.
The houses are usually narrow, linear, and single-storey with a low-pitched saddle roof. They have opened the rafters and the wide roof. The walls are generally bagged or painted with bricks and windows are large glass areas with wooden mullion at regular intervals.
L-Shape 1945 - 1955
This style represents a change in the overall plan, a plan resembling a large "L" shape. Usually with a curved tip to L, with terra cotta tiles still in use, as concrete tiles did not appear until the late 1960s. Wooden or steel-framed windows are used, and the front-facing fence resembles a house, the same as seen since the Early Modern Period.
Dutch Colonial
Triple front (brick cream) 1950 - 1960
Very easily recognizable by the front wall they have 3 and sometimes even 4 walls facing forward. This causes the front entrance sometimes to be brought to the side in one of the niches made by many fronts. A medium-pitched roof and hipped with concrete tiles used towards the end of the style in the late 60s. The front fence has a castellated top and piles raised above the top of the rest of the brick fence. Iron decorative use is very minimal, at the gate to the driveway, and ledge to the entrance.
End of the twentieth century 1960 - 2000
The late 20th century style largely derives from current world architectural trends, or has mimicked previous Australian styles. These styles include Stripped Classical, Ecclesiastical, International, Organic, Sydney Regional, Regional Perth, Regional Adelaide, Tropical, Brutal, Structural, Modern End, Modern Post, Nostalgic Nostalgia and Australian Immigrants. In the 80s and 90s, much of Australia experienced a building boom that complicated the supply of buildings, so many buildings of this era were characterized by cheap and low-quality materials.
A good cross-section of the Australian residential architectural style from this period, though it does not necessarily fall into any of the above categories, follows. Almost all the houses featured in this section were built after 1960 and photographed in the North of Sydney on the Central Coast of NSW.
Each of these styles has different emphases for practicality (physical needs, layouts, and views), land and environmental considerations (structural requirements for foundations, designs for weather protection) and aesthetic considerations (planar, volumetric and sculptural, emotional forms and spiritual qualities.) All these requirements and qualities should be considered when designing a home.
Dicat dan dirender triple fronted brick veneer
This house style has a brick facade (exterior) with wooden frame that supports interior walls, usually from gyprock. The roof is always hipped or tapered and tiled. As mentioned earlier in this article, this style, without the brick facades painted and made, dominated the suburban architecture in the 1950s - 1960s. In its basic form it is a bland and unimaginative style that has been propagated by the developer. Due to its familiar and inexpensive construction, it is still the dominant style in housing and many consider the scourge style of Australian domestic architecture. The basic styles have been made more appealing with rendering and painting, adding more corners, variations of the roof, porch, porch, and bay windows. The large house, the 2-story house of this style is often described as "McMansions".
Cottage of the wooden and fibro fisherman
The original fishing lodge was built in many coastal cities between the 1930s and 1950s. At first a simple wooden skeleton structure of one or two rooms and a veranda lined with asbestos sheeting. Floors are generally raised in piles. The veranda sometimes has a beautiful wooden fence that is sometimes closed to make extra space or sleep-out. Detailed wood around the windows and the roof is often painted a bright red as one of the most popular traditional colors.
Original cottages, which are relatively inexpensive to buy, are now popular for renovation. Easy construction and owner building are common. Older buildings require insulation in the ceilings and walls. The wood and fiber cement layers are now replacing the original asbestos and often the interior is made to create an open, modern lifestyle. The work of the wooden strap can be used and the window frames are painted for effect.
Regional lined huts
This popular style has emerged from a three fronted brick veneer. While the home footprint and floor plan may be quite similar, the sharp hut has a very different feel. In this style a distinctive tapered roof is a dominant design element, and a practical means of providing shady and entertaining spaces. The construction can be completely of brick (often painted), entirely wood, or a combination of brick on the bottom of the house and wood at the top. Some brick construction houses have porches and porches. The roof is usually a galvanized iron and metal framed window.
Although it is suitable for oblique beams, this style can also be built on stone slabs. The use of wood cladding greatly reduces the weight and cost of construction
Farm style
Farming styles became popular in the nineties. With the concept in the United States, it originated in suburban Adelaide and later became popular in the coastal and coastal areas of New South Wales. The basic plan is simple and the footprint (at least the part facing the road) is often rectangular. The walls are usually brick, or brick and wood, and windows are often colonial-style from floor to ceiling. The roof is usually coated with an excess roof. The garage is often integrated into the house. Some farmhouse-style houses are boomerang shaped, others are L-shaped for angle rations.
House style farms can be easily combined with the style of Murcutt/Drew (wood and galvanized iron). These small ranch-style homes often have balconies with wide homes.
Murcutt/Drew steel and corrugated iron house
A number of styles emerged from the influence of architects Phillip Drew and Glen Murcutt. Geometric shapes from angles are often a signature, as are steel framing (sometimes exposed) and corrugated iron linings available in various colors. Cement fibers and wooden cladding are often used with iron to create a sympathetic texture blend. Being lightweight construction, steel and corrugated iron approaches are relatively inexpensive and suitable for flat and steep terrain. Interior cladding is most often gyprock but can be wood or even plywood. The butterfly roof can also be used quite successfully in this design. This home style is suitable for steel frame pile houses on a steep slope.
The pavilion style
The pavilion-style house is characterized by a simple rectangle, a boxy volumetric force, an open interior with glass replacing most of the wall space. Windows are often also framed with steel. Wall transparencies make it suitable for blocks with privacy and/or views. The open terrace is an integral part of the living room, and like the rooms, they are oriented to suit the aspect. The roof is often low-pitched and skimmer. Style is a favorite architect Harry Seidler who favored a given brick wall but is also suitable for steel, cement fiber, and corrugated iron treatment. This approach often requires the thinness of the steel frame to create the desired look.
Queensland Style (Nostalgia Australia)
The Queensland-style house is characterized by wood-painted exteriors, wood stud frames, and pile-covered floors for airflow in hot climates. They have a wide veranda (often the length of the house and covered by shutters, and the roof is lined and iron is bumpy.The view facing the road is often symmetrical.The NSW Queenslander is often smaller than the original Queenslander classic and is less decorative perhaps due to limited inventory of fine wood detail and people trade to build it, sometimes combined with a farm style house.
Contemporary style
The contemporary style from 2000 and beyond includes post modernism, modernism, and pop architecture.
Adaptif
Adaptive reuse has become popular in Australia for residential conversion.
