Baker House, Heritage listed building in Bacchus Marsh, Australia
Baker House features twelve stone cylinders surrounding a central square structure topped by a shallow pyramid roof with deep verandas.
Built between 1964 and 1966 by architect Robin Boyd for Dr. Michael Baker, the house joined the Victorian Heritage Register in 2007.
The design merges influences from Walter Burley Griffin and Louis Kahn while incorporating local materials to reflect the Australian environment.
The structure contains water storage tanks within its stone cylinders and requires heritage permits for any modifications or renovations.
The central courtyard sits beneath a flywire roof, creating natural ventilation and light distribution throughout the connected living spaces.
