A new look at building environmentally in Australia and New Zealand. Follow up to the award-winning book A Place in the Country, author promotion with extensive media coverage, a beautiful book with practical application including plans and elevations. Living in Australia and New Zealand is now more than ever about adapting to its unique environment. As broad interest in sustainability grows and building energy ratings become more stringent, architects must design with the environment in mind to make living spaces better and more efficient. From the sunny beaches of tropical Queensland to the terrace houses of the inner-city to rural retreats on the South Island of New Zealand, A Place in the Sun takes you on a journey through over 40 homes of stylistic distinction and functional design all built in harmony with the sun. This collection of cutting-edge dwellings showcases thoughtful design solutions that respond to different climactic conditions to maximise the suns potential. The architects approaches are varied.
