Mid-century magnetism in a unique pocket of Melbourne
Riverside Modern journeys into one of Melbourne's most remarkable architectural enclaves. Framed on three sides by the winding Yarra River, the quiet streets of Studley Park in Kew contain Australia's finest concentration of modernist houses, a rare snapshot of mid-century Australian design.
In the decade following World War II, a cluster of visionary architects built a series of experimental family homes here, many working side by side as the neighbourhood took shape. Among them were figures who would come to define Melbourne modernism, including Robin Boyd, Anatol Kagan, McGlashan Everist, and Peter McIntyre and Dione McIntyre. Set within a steep, leafy riverside landscape, these architects refined ideas about light, site and modern living that would shape Australian architecture for decades.
Author Jake Taylor and photographer Jack Lovel explore key residential projects, revealing the creative energy behind this extraordinary pocket of design. Together, these houses stand as a powerful testament to the ambition, experimentation and enduring legacy of Australian modernism.
