Statement of Significance

Built in 1966 and designed by eminent Australian architect and author Robin Boyd of the firm Romberg and Boyd, the Lawrence House and Flats are architecturally significant, at a regional level, as a mature example of his structural pier and infill manner, one of several design themes which appeal in Boyd's distinguished repertoire of Melbourne houses of the 1950s and 1960s. The complex of the house and two flats is also remarkable for the graphic expression of its constituent parts, a composition of four free-standing rectangular boxes (one a carport) elegantly capped by floating flat roofs with dark recessed facias and all connected by a covered walkway that forms a spine down the block.
