Statement of Significance

The Howard Pettigrew House is of local historical and architectural significance as a very early example of modern domestic design in Melbourne by noted architects Robin Boyd, Kevin Pethebridge and Frank Bell, and is a forerunner of much of the design which was to originate from these practitioners and other young architects in the decade to follow. The subsequent additions, designed by Pethebridge and Bell, and by Kevin Pethebridge, extend the design philosophy. The house is of interest as an example of a house which was extended in a series of stages but by the same architectural practice.
