Gallery House

The Gallery House at 23 Morang Road Hawthorn designed and built between 1987 and 1991 by Dale Jones-Evans is significant.

The Gallery House is of local historical and architectural significance to the City of Boroondara.

The Gallery House at 23 Morang Road is part of the enduring and ongoing practice of architects in the post war era building houses for themselves and their families. This practice stems from the nineteenth century and has been a feature of middle class housing in Boroondara.

The Gallery House, designed and built by architect Dale Jones-Evans, is of architectural significance for its innovation recognised through the Royal Australian Institute of Architects Robin Boyd Award for residential buildings in 1991. As Australia's most prestigious annual architectural residential housing award, the Robin Boyd Award is given to houses that set new benchmarks in terms of meeting the client's needs, responding to its site, and providing shelter which is at the leading edge of house design. Dale Jones-Evans later became part of the innovative architectural practice Biltmoderne, with Randal Marsh and Roger Wood, producing some highly innovative buildings.
