Australian Heritage Architecture

 

Welcome. This site promotes Australian heritage architecture through the work of artist Olga Gostin. Australia's architectural heritage is replete with many Colonial, Victorian and Federation era masterpieces found in all major and regional cities. Of particular note are the raised Victorian dwellings found in Queensland.

Olga has captured the beauty of heritage houses, storefronts and public buildings through her watercolours. Her sense of colour, proportion and artistic license have brought back life to those architectural examples that need renovation and a fresh coat of paint. Upon viewing Olga’s work, one is instantly transported to a nostalgic past where iron laced balconies and other elaborate ornamentations were the order of the day.

Allegria Promotions has reproduced much of Olga’s work on this site. The intent was not just to promote Olga’s work but also to promote Australia’s architecture to an audience largely accustomed to stereotypical Australian images of Kangaroos and long sandy beaches. Visitors to Australia are genuinely amazed by the architectural heritage found in such a "new" country. Through Olga’s prints, Allegria Promotions hopes that a visitor can obtain a different perspective of what constitutes Australian architecture.

This site is a work in progress. Ultimately all of Olga's work will be included with each work fully described in terms of its location and architectural characteristics. Please visit often.
