1941 Style.

Picture
Toorak is not famous for 'electric-blue' gates and the Moonbria building is certainly not your typical 1940's Toorak apartment block.The gate is topped with a dome like structure echoing the buildings Art Deco influences and proudly emblazoned  with the name 'Moonbria," Roy Ground's 1941 building masterpiece is a statement of legendary style amidst the Neo-Georgian structures of 'new-builds' that surround it. "Moonbria' is classified Heritage A1 Victoria's highest level of heritage protection.

Grounds' 
Appeal.

Picture
'Moonbria' is designed around a central courtyard giving all 21 residences a soul-enriching garden experience.
Roy Ground's visionary commitment to 'bringing the outside in', was decades ahead of the established thinking of the time, and secured Roy Grounds as a true visionary amongst his peers.
His 'Round House' in Mt. Eliza, the 'Hill Street' property in Toorak, were to varying degrees crafted with this unique vision in mind. 

Circular Lift &
a Concertina Door.

Picture
Roy Grounds wrapped the common stairway at Moonbria around a central circular elevator. This ground breaking circular elevator design pre-dates his use of this unique element in the National Gallery Of Victoria by several decades.  Roy then wrapped Moonbria’s entire stairwell in multiple panels of glass so at night the 'shadow-line' of residents walking up the stairs can be clearly seen from the street. Norman Foster's 'Reichstag' building in Berlin eat your heart out!
