Alison Alexander

Alison Alexander

With an architect as her father and a journalist as her mother, it's hardly surprising that Alison's vocation would eventually embrace both disciplines. Having worked as a writer, designer, columnist, editor and copywriter, Alison now spends much of her time researching and documenting 1950s and 1960s architecture. She lives in Beaumaris in a mid-century modern house designed by her father's firm in 1957 and furnished with many of the pieces inherited from the family home she grew up in and where her love of modernist design was born. Alison's passion lead her to be co-author of Beaumaris Modern.
