Education & Reference Australiana Architecture & Interior Design
Restoring Old Houses by Ian Evans is the illustrated bible for anyone who dreams of bringing an Australian period home back to life. Evans walks readers through Federation cottages to grand Victorian villas, blending technical know-how with cultural history to show how authentic repairs protect both structure and story.
The book’s generous photos and diagrams demystify lime mortar, sash windows, hoop-pine floors and other trademark Aussie details. Step-by-step guidance on tools, materials and heritage regulations makes it an indispensable reference for architects, students and weekend renovators alike.
This used copy is clean, tightly bound and free of marks or dog-ears; only light foxing appears on the first leaf. Coming from a smoke-free home, it’s ready to sit on your workbench or coffee table while you plan your next restoration adventure.
