Lyons House, Private residence in Dolans Bay, Australia

The residence at 733 Port Hacking Road features a central elevated concrete pool structure integrated within its architectural design, maximizing views of the surrounding landscape.

Thomas Holt owned the land as part of his estate before the construction of Lyons House in 1967 by architectural firm Romberg & Boyd under Robin Boyd's direction.

Architect Robin Boyd incorporated Late Twentieth Century Organic style principles in the house design, reflecting his interest in modernism and Japanese architectural influences.

The house utilizes post-tensioned concrete techniques for the pool structure, applying commercial building methods to create a stable residential architectural form.

Interior designer Marion Hall Best created specialized window coverings while Bruce Mackenzie developed the landscape design, combining native and exotic plant species.
