How often do you look up and take notice of the buildings that surround you?

Although a relatively young city, Perth in Western Australia has a rich architectural history filled with visionary architects and iconic designs. From hard times in the fledgling colony to modern innovations changing the way we live and work, every building has a story to tell.

Through beautiful graphic illustrations and captivating histories, Built Perth uncovers the stories behind 50 of Perth’s most fascinating and beautiful buildings. It is a welcome reminder that the built environment is more than just the place where people live – it is a reflection of who they are.

What started as a desire to illustrate a collection of buildings in Perth, turned into a wonderful and unexpected oppertunity to become an author. When given the chance, Elliot and myself set out to produce a beautiful book giving light to the underrated architecture that Perth city has to offer. Using a fairly muted colour scheme we decided to portray the buildings in true elevation format, giving something of an architectural drawing feel, whilst making the images friendly and approachable.
