Info
Peter McIntyre's River Residence (1955) is one of the famous Australian architect's most notable designs. Built during a Post World-War Two period that was defined architecturally by the International Style, it stands as a testament to the architectural whims and intentions of Melbourne in the 1950s. The McIntyre River Residence quintessentially embodies Peter McIntyre's striking style as well as the Post War Melbourne Regional style. The June 1956 issue of Vogue in the US commented that the house was, 'like some exotic bird of paradise perched high on the densely wooded bank.'
