Due to the distinctive climatic conditions in Australia, the architectural trend has been consistent with the western world. Most of the architectural styles in the past were influenced by British designs. Around the 20th century however, the influence of American urban designs came into existence.
The most famous architectures listed in Australia are the Sydney Opera House, the Melbourne Royal Exhibition Building, Federation Square, The Parliament House in Canberra and The Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The residential architectural style in Australia has evolved since 1840. One of the most common and unique features of every Australian home is the use of fencing in the front gates.
As time has evolved the picture of the architectural trend in Australia has changed significantly. Here, you can find the top residential architectural trends all over Australia.
