From the ‘burbs, to the bush, to the inner city, Australians are obsessed with homeownership.
Tim Ross, an architecture and design enthusiast who grew up in the suburbs, has been fascinated by homes since he was eight, when he first discovered a family friend's groovy conversation pit.
In The Australian Dream?, Ross examines archival treasures from public libraries to uncover the story of Australian homes: how they’re sold to us, why we buy them, and how we make them our own. He explores why home ownership is such a powerful force in Australia and highlights the unique ways we build in this country.
