    House at 18 Summit Drive - Physical Description 1

    A double-fronted, double-storey contemporary house in coffee coloured brick with a flat steel deck roof. It is carefully sited next to the linear park, Yarraleen Reserve, to obtain full benefit of the northern sun and the view towards the Yarra Valley. The design steps down the slope, around a central chimney, in the manner of the Ken Wooley (of Ancher, Mortlock, Murray & Wooley Pty Ltd) Myer's house at Mossman, Sydney (1970). It has the affectations of its period, in glass bricks, vertical slot windows, quadrant round corners in brick at rear, and glazed in front and semicircular

    rain-water heads. Timber is stained moss green and downpipes pinky buff, relating to its natural buff and ground-cover landscaped setting. Cocks and Carmichael have also designed houses at 28-32 Rosco Drive, Templestowe. Also comparable to 2 St.Georges Avenue, Templestowe, Dennis Carter (1973), and Keith and John R. Reid's houses as at McLachlan Street (sw cnr. Dellas Avenue) Templestowe Lower (1966 & 70) and "Carawajna", 10-12 Enfield Avenue, Park Orchards (1977). Cocks and Carmichael's townhouses at Locksley Road (cnr. Maltravers Road) Ivanhoe are also comparable.[3]
