279p. : ill. ; col. ; 30cm. Mid-century modern continues its resurgence. Discover Australia's best examples of modernist residential architecture thoughtfully adapted for the present day. The intuitive design, sun-lit spaces and tranquil vibe of Modernist houses still have an enduring appeal today. But can these homes be updated for contemporary living while maintaining the integrity of the original architecture? The New Modernist House presents twenty-one mid-century homes respectfully restored and renewed for future generations to enjoy. Designs by some of the period's heavyweights - including Anatol Kagan, Alistair Knox and Ernest Fooks - have been sensitively updated by today's creative innovators. Alongside stories of the passionate homeowners, architects and collaborators who have given these homes new life, a historical overview and section on practical considerations inform those drawn to a Modernist dream house. This colourful volume is both a useful resource for those embarking on their own renovation journey, and a sourcebook of inspiration for delighting in moments of nostalgia Contents: 6 Foreword: Hannah Lewi -- 8 Introduction -- 12 Mid- Century Modernism: Beginnings and Legacy -- 18 Renovating a Mid- Century Modern Home -- 24 What Does Mid- Century Modern Look Like in Australia? -- New Modernist Houses -- 30 Kagan House -- Anatol Kagan (1953) -- Kennedy Nolan (2019) -- 42 House Kinder -- Unknown (1954) -- Wilko Architecture (2021) -- 52 Caulfield Townhouse -- Unknown (1956) -- Norwood Designs (2011) -- 64 Alexander House -- Loyal Alexander (1957) -- Trace Architecture (2010-22) -- 76 Brick Residence -- Ernest Fooks (1957) -- Preston Lane (2018) -- 90 Ga House -- Unknown (1959) -- Architects Ink (2017) -- 100 The Quarter Deck -- Glynn Nicholls (1959) -- 8 Squared (2018) -- 114 Ivanhoe East House -- Hipwell, Weight & Mason (1960) -- Pop Architecture (2020) -- 126 Torbreck Apartment -- Job & Froud Architects (1960) -- KIN Architects (2017) -- 136 Anglesea Cabin -- Unknown owner- builder (early 1960s) -- Lian (2021) -- 146 Modo Pento -- Unknown (1960s) -- WOWOWA Architecture & Interiors (2019) -- 160 Beachcomber House -- Nino Sydney (1963) -- Nino Sydney and owners (2014) -- 170 Frankston House -- Clarke Hopkins Clarke (1963) -- MRTN Architects (2019) -- 182 City Beach House -- Unknown Owner- Builder (1964) -- Simon Pendal Architect (2020) -- 196 Kirriemuir House -- Owners (1964) -- Studio 101 Architects (2017) -- 206 Kenmore Renovation -- Unknown (late 1960s) -- KIN Architects (2021) -- 216 Fisher House -- Alistair Knox (1969) -- Adriana Hanna (2020) -- 228 Lindfield House -- Bill Baker (1969) -- Frank Designs (2018) -- 242 Fender House -- Karl Fender (1973) -- Owners (2018) -- 254 Bismark Blue -- Peter Green & Associates (1979) -- Cloud Dwellers (2020) -- 266 House Gezelling -- Unknown (1980s) -- Studio Prineas (2020) -- 278 Directory -- Further reading -- 279 Artwork credits -- Acknowledgments -- Architecture Domestic Pictorial works History Australia Architecture Domestic Conservation and restoration Architecture, Modern 20th century Pictorial works Interior decoration Pictorial works Australia Modern Architecture Midcentury modern 20th century Pictorial works History Australia Australia Pictorial works NA7125 B73 2024 728.0904 pucpr 251001 20251008120237.0 eng
