Statement of Significance
Designed in 1969 and built in 1971, this is the first completed domestic design by John Denton, of the important international architects, Denton Corker Marshall, and prior to the formation of that partnership, immediately after graduating. It is of architectural significance at State level for that reason, but also as a fine, intact early example of Denton's work alone, to which the addition forms an interesting and complementary coda.

Emery House - Physical Description 1
A Modernist house in concrete block, extending across the site with gabled and saw-toothed roofs clad with flat cement (?) tiles. The gabled garage at left is concealed behind a high wall with timber doors. At its left, the wall returns to the front of the house with high-light windows over. A rectangular chimney extends past the clerestory which faces it. Inside is a range of floor levels and platforms, with a mezzanine level. Chains replace downpipes from half-round gutters. It is set in a landscaped setting including weathered boulders and mature pines, which cover the site.
There is a Post-modern addition by the same architect and a pool, very colourful, at the rear.
Emery House - Intactness
Excellent.
Emery House - Physical Conditions
Excellent. The owners wage a constant battle with the pine needles.
