Statement of Significance

The house is a good example of the European derived moderne style, popular in Heidelberg and Ivanhoe during the inter-War period. Designed by A.V. Jennings' architect Edward Gurney, the house was built for local leather manufacturer John Guest. It is of local archtiectural significance.

      4 Maltravers Road - Physical Description 1

      Designed in the moderne styke, 4 Maltravers Road is an asymmetrical composition of cream and red face brick parapetted flat roof and terraces and metal-framed windows. Concrete steps provide access to a curved entrance porch. The house is a domestic intepretation of the European brick modernist idiom, showing broad similarities to German architects Gropius and Meyer's Fagus factory (1911) by its use of metal framed corned windows and parapeted flat roofs, and the overlapping cubist forms of the work of Dutch architect W.M. Dudok.

      Landscape

      4 Maltravers Road appears to retain some of its original landscaping including a number of mature conifers.
