Footpath Guides

Footpath Guides is a series of books dedicated to the heritage architecture of Sydney and Melbourne — walking guides that invite readers to slow down, look up, and discover the stories embedded in the buildings around them. Our work centred on celebrating the character of historic Australian architecture while championing local tourism with a bold, independent spirit. Each volume explores a different era, brought to life through detailed architectural illustrations of iconic Australian buildings.

The visual identity is distinctive and deliberately playful — melding historic and contemporary design principles into a visual language that feels fresh and characterful, and stands out confidently in crowded retail environments.
