The Boyd Baker House

Within 45 mins of leaving Melbourne´s CBD and heading west you will be nearing the Robin Boyd Baker Compound, which comprises of the Robin Boyd Baker House, the Robin Boyd Dower House and the Roy Grounds Baker Library.

Surrounded by an iconic Australian bush landscape, the Long Forest Conservation Reserve, the Baker House and the Dower House are Robin Boyd´s intelligent and sensitive response to the unique site presented to him by University of Melbourne mathematician, Dr Michael Baker, in 1964.

These deceptively simple houses have been described as ‘precious pieces of the state´s heritage’, with the Baker House ‘acknowledged as one of Australia´s most important post war houses’.
