Roy Grounds House, Modernist residence in Toorak, Melbourne, Australia

The Roy Grounds House features a circular glass-walled courtyard within a square brick structure, topped by a broad flat roof with continuous highlight windows.

Completed in 1953, the residence earned the Victorian Architecture Medal in 1954 during a period when architectural awards were generally suspended.

The internal design incorporates Eastern principles through its inward-looking character, with a central courtyard containing persimmon trees and bamboo plants.

The property includes four additional flats at the rear, consisting of one single-level studio and three double-story two-bedroom units with angled carports.

The radial walls of the house do not extend to the central courtyard, creating an uninterrupted spatial flow that emphasizes the circular glass enclosure.
