TSOSHAAN MANSIONS - Physical Description 1
The design has strong Eastern influence in its pagoda roof form and other bungalow features such as pergolas and deep balconies: The pilasters, moulded eaves brackets and urns mounted against the wails contribute to the palatial character of the building. The house is surrounded by large plantings of cedar and camphor laurel. A driveway enters from the corner through a pagoda roofed gate flanked by large Cypressus torulosa. Garden beds are constructed of volcanic boulders lining the driveway and paths.
Tsoshaan is also notable for its garden setting, which reflects the building's Eastern style of architecture. The gate, serpentine drive and plantings in the wall at first floor level are of particular note. Arthur Purnell used the same exotic combination for his own house at 490.Punt Road, South Yarra, in 1926.1
