ABSTRACT

122The Haughton James House is in Melbourne’s inner suburb of Kew, five kilometres east from the city. The site is located on a steep slope on the east side of the Yarra River – it precipitously descends from east to west, meeting the river at its lower end. It is occupied by existing dense vegetation along the left bank of the Yarra. On the other side of the river, large parklands expand towards the north west, including a golf course in the immediate proximity of the river edge.
