The seven ‘Deck Houses’, designed by the admired architect Murray Russell, were built in the 1970s as a ‘Concept for Living’ project that provides a very appealing alternative to mainstream architectural norms. They really are fantastic modern homes, still highly contemporary, and very cleverly designed. The key to the design is the discreet, even modest, single-storey front elevation that presents to the streetscape with the majority of the accommodation set to the rear where its two-storey elevation, with its super full-width sun deck, really conveys the size of the house and from which there is a very peaceful, and leafy, outlook over the gardens to trees.
