Statement of Significance

A double-storied brick Modernist house designed by eminent Melbourne architect Robin Boyd (1919-71) in 1969 and construction completed in 1972 after his untimely death. It was the last new house he designed, to be built. It is architecturally significant at state level for its association with Boyd who was a prolific local and international writer, domestic scale architect and publicist for architecture, for the quality of Modernist design, still particularly intact and historically in embodying progressive family life in Ringwood in the idealistic early 1970s.
