The long traditions of regional outbuildings designed with whimsy, ingenuity and a sense of fun reaches new heights in these passion projects.
Words Aaron Peters
THE art of “making do” will be familiar to many people living and working in regional Australia. Miscellaneous structures born out of necessity and completed with minimum fuss are an integral part of the landscape and a delightful companion to daily life.
But “making do” isn’t the whole story; there’s a rich tradition of regional buildings that “make extraordinary”. These passion projects, delightful follies, uncanny outbuildings and pleasure palaces celebrate regional Australia’s ingenuity, ambition and imagination, taking full advantage of the natural beauty of their settings.
