268 Northbourne Avenue, Dickson

What you see: Among the last surviving examples of Canberra’s first modernist living, beautifully restored for contemporary comfort, everyday convenience and lasting architectural significance. Originally built between 1959 and 1962, the Maisonettes formed part of a pioneering housing initiative that showcased modern design and urban planning ideals. Characterised by clean lines, functional layouts and integration with landscaped surrounds, these homes exemplify Post-War International Style and reflect the optimism and ambition of Canberra’s early development as a planned Capital. What we see: A residence that not only stands the test of time, but defines it. Thoughtfully reimagined for modern living while preserving the heritage, craftsmanship and character that make homes of this calibre increasingly rare.
