1940s architecture in Australia: house styles and influences
The 1940s was a time of evolution and experimentation in Australian architecture. Jul 28, 2020 11:40pm
The 1940s in Australia was a time of significant social, economic and political change due to the Second World War which began in 1939 and ended in 1945. Post-war Australia posed its own set of challenges such as housing shortages, continued rationing, economic instability and general unrest. But it also sparked new beginnings and opportunity. With many European war refugees sent to settle in Australia through the assisted immigration program, the post-war period led to the creation of new jobs through programs such as the Snowy Mountain Hydro-electric Scheme, and the construction of new houses. So, what did postwar houses look like in Australia? In between the Art Deco and mid-century eras, the 1940s was a time of evolution and experimentation in Australian architecture, which resulted in an array of housing styles, from bungalows to early modernist designs.

Popular throughout the 1920s, 30s and into the 1940s, the California bungalow was adopted from - you guessed it - the US, at a time where American culture started to become a prominent influence on Australian society.
