Australia is the ultimate canvas for inspiring architecture that boasts wide open spaces and rooms flooded with light, that embrace the natural surroundings. While urban communities play with the limitations within suburbia and how to maximise space in housing or land with small footprints, modern bush architecture is embracing the land, and booming. Two years of the pandemic, people around the world have been forced to reassess their way of life through the changes of their working environment and the importance of the space they inhabit. Covid-19 has also placed limits on people’s ability to travel, reset and come back refreshed and ready for a sleep in their own bed. Instead we have sought refuge in our homes and set new aspirations for a more comfortable and adaptable ways of living. So families are deciding to take their lives out of the city or neighbouring suburbs, and go bush. “Covid has made a massive difference because people haven’t been able to escape to their favourite destinations overseas. They are doing more full-time living in the country and realising they can work from home remotely and just about anywhere.” With this new chapter, the perception of rural architecture is moving beyond shed makeovers and converted shipping containers. More emphasis and interest has been placed not only in reducing our our general living costs but making considerations for the use of sustainable materials and methodologies. Leaving a smaller house footprint, thoughtful, but with the necessary luxuries fitted.
