Hugh Buhrich (25 April 1911 – 18 June 2004) was a German architect who arrived in Australia as a refugee from Nazi Germany before World War II. Buhrich's practice, of 40 years, covered commercial and domestic projects. His projects were generally designed in a modernist style and often contained specific interior designs along with the buildings.[1] His most notable and recognized project was the construction of his personal home, which is described by Peter Myers as "the finest modern house in Australia".[2]
