Ramsay Open House - A Roy Grounds Hidden Gem
About
Curious about lies at the end of this garden path?Not visible from the street and rarely open to the public, you will discover a modest beach cottage built into the cliff at the far corner of the property.
In 1937 Betty Ramsay invited a rising star from Melbourn's Architectural area, the young Roy Grounds, to design a simple holiday house on her small bush covered block where she and her two little boys could spend carefree days on the beach.
The simple holiday house that Roy Grounds designed broke with tradition. This is arguably the first 'Modernist' dwelling in Australia, and one in which Ground's was able to express design elements that were to be repeated throughout his 55 year career, culminating in the Victorian Art Centre Complex comprising Art Gallery, Theatre & Concert Hall.
The restored garden forms part of your adventure.
