Bush Modern is a new book that celebrates a little-known chapter of Australian architecture — tactile, grounded and quietly radical. Bush Modern explores 23 homes built on Melbourne’s bushy north-eastern fringe, where necessity and imagination shaped a local movement. Through evocative photography, personal stories and architectural insight, it traces the origins and thoughtful revival of an aesthetic deeply connected to land, community and a creative, do-it-yourself ethos.
