Explore the exceptional interiors of central Melbourne, from the iconic to the hidden, some rarely accessible to the public. Encompassing Victorian, Moderne and Mid-century styles, this book is the first of its kind, examining Melbourne's history and rich culture through its built interiors. From long-standing private clubs to long-lost coffee palaces, Melbourne Heritage Interiors takes an in-depth look at these spaces and the architects, craftspeople and artists who created them.
Insightful historical research is brought to life with over 400 images, including stunning contemporary and evocative archival photographs.
Step beyond the facades and into the heart of Melbourne's architectural and social history, and take a journey through the spaces that have shaped the life and legacy of this remarkable city.
