Fiona Austin established her business Austin Design Associates in 1999. Alongside her interior design work, Fiona is extremely passionate about Mid-Century Modern architecture & protecting these architecturally designed homes from demolition. The bayside suburb of Beaumaris sits 20km south-east of Melbourne CBD & is home to some of the best examples of 1950s-1960s architecture. We caught up with Fiona for a chat about her work with Beaumaris Modern, the need to protect these historic homes & what drives her & the many members of Beaumaris Modern to stand up for these mid-century marvels.
