Unlock a World of Elegance in Minimalism

In a landscape where land prices are soaring and the push for sustainability is more important than ever, Small House Living Australia serves as a cornerstone for those looking to live well, but with less. Catherine Foster introduces you to 21 standout Australian homes, all under 90sqm, that exemplify smart design and elegant living.

A Medley of Australian Ingenuity

From bustling urban settings to serene rural backdrops, the homes featured in this book are as diverse as the landscapes they inhabit. Some are clever additions onto tight urban sites, while others serve as tranquil weekend retreats in the countryside.

No matter the locale, what ties them together is a unified philosophy: Good architecture makes even the smallest ecological footprint both possible and beautiful.

Design Meets Practicality

In an age where architects and designers are rising to the challenge of expensive land, increasing environmental constraints, and varied household needs, Small House Living Australia unveils a collection of homes that are both cost-effective and practical, without ever sacrificing the essential human need for a stunning sanctuary.

Features That Speak to You

Accessible for All - This isn't just a book for architecture enthusiasts; it's designed for anyone captivated by the possibilities of smaller living.

A Symphony of Styles - From suburban granny flats to luxurious inner-city terraces, this book features a rich palette of home types.

A Visual Journey - Each showcased home is a feast for the eyes, complete with extensive photography, floor plans, and a 1,000-word narrative.

Small House Living Australia celebrates the epitome of well-executed design and offers a compelling vision for lives lived well, with less.

About the Author

Catherine Foster is a freelance writer with a specific interest in home design. She has been a regular contributor of articles to leading New Zealand home magazines, including Your Home & Garden, HOME New Zealand and NZ House and Garden. Although trained as a Costume Designer at the London College of Fashion, Catherine found that single motherhood and a career in the film industry was not the best mix. A return to life in New Zealand opened doors to writing about property and lifestyle in all its various forms and for many years Catherine embraced it as a second career string. With her belief in consuming the finite resources of Planet Earth responsibly, she sees the harnessing of architectural design principles to build smaller and smarter homes an obvious step in the right direction. No longer needing to accommodate a family, Catherine now lives happily in an apartment.
