5 Eamon Court is of local architectural and historical significance to the City of Boroondara.
Why is it significant?
5 Eamon Court, located in the Raheen Estate which was originally developed by the Catholic Church, and the last large scale estate to be created in Studley Park, is an excellent example of residential development designed and built by and for European emigres.
5 Eamon Court is an intact example of the work of architectural practice Holgar and Holgar who specialised in the residential housing sector from the 1960s to the 1980s throughout Melbourne. Often associated with large houses for European emigres, 5 Eamon Court is a modest design when compared other examples of their work.
5 Eamon Court demonstrates some of then modern design principles of a low pitched butterfly roof, light filled entry and outdoor terraces at ground and first floor level. A distinctive and unusual feature of this house is the rendered masonry wall surfaces decorated with incised chevron patterns. 5 Eamon Court has a high degree of external integrity when compared with other houses on the Raheen Estate.
