From Log Cabins to Beach Houses
Wooden houses appear in all sorts of guises - from rustic cabins deep in the heart of rural outbacks and timbered cottages with pretty picket fences to elegant North American and Australian weatherboard houses with deep, shaded verandas. Wood has long been valued for the practical benefits it offers. But it is the vast decorative potential of wood that ensured its continued use, as evidenced by 19th-century houses with all sorts of detailing such as elaborately carved gables, bargeboards and porches.
With hundreds of inspiring photographs, 'Wooden Houses' explores the vast decorative potential of wood in our homes.
Includes 300 colour photographs.
