This signature range of architectural models chart the development of domestic Australian architecture at a scale of 1:100. They are authentic replicas of the unique Australian houses you might see as you drive around the region they represent. They reflect the identity of the people who built them and the environment they were designed for. They speak to us of times past and lives long gone. Cut from timber and easy to construct they have a feel of authenticity that comes from their intensely researched historical accuracy.
