Buildings Australian Traditional Houses Pack

Yeah I agree although I'd also ask for the 1940s-1950s era houses as well, most commonly seen in brick or fibro but there were a few weatherboard ones here and there.
I'm thinking specifically of that transition period when new houses started to lose the fireplace & chimney from the design.

For an example of the basic style (and they were pretty basic!)


although you could still find homes being built with fireplace/chimney, for example: -

 

Talk about coincidences... I lived in Canberra in the '70s, in Lyneham. They were starting to build Ginninderra Drive at that time so that's how long ago that was!

 

That doesn't surprise me Skullz, both our countries took British housing designs and adapted them to our part of the world. It seems South Africa had the same sort of experience so if we had a mods based on these designs, I reckon we could use them for any of the British colonized countries in the southern hemisphere

 

Absolutely, particularly some little older ones on 10 x 40 and 20 x 40 as that is more standard house size in suburban Brisbane. Those little brickies would be great!!!

 

Hiya Brendon, yeah I seem to recall that for the older suburbs of Melbourne and Sydney those sizes would be suitable too. Again these were inner city suburbs where they really packed the housing in. Doesn't seem to be quite the same with Perth, here it seems the smallest size would equal the 20 x 40.

 

It would be very nice if there were more mods like that.
