TYPE OF PLACE House 6. LEVEL State 7. EXTENT OF DESIGNATION Entire house and contents, and landscaping. Includes garden walls, sculpture walls, pergolas, remnant original landscaping, driveway and, interior purpose built furniture, fittings and fixtures. 8. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE What is significant ? The residence at 32 Howitt Road, Caulfield was designed in 1964 (completed in 1966) by the Viennese architect and urban theorist, Dr Ernest Fooks, as his own house. This house represents the most celebrated and architecturally resolved of Fooks’ domestic designs, combining his analytical approach to planning with a stylistic interpretation of traditional Japanese architecture. Considered within the body of Fooks’ 1960’s house designs, Howitt Road epitomizes and best exemplifies premises central to Fooks’ urban theory and methodology. Fooks controlled every design aspect of his residence, including custom-designed freestanding and built-in furniture, exterior sculpture walls, landscaping and plant selection, ensuring his theoretical concerns, especially those concerning integration, achieved expression in all aspects of the environment. The end product pays testimony to the design confidence and thoroughness of Dr Fooks: high quality of workmanship, uncompromising choices of materials, and cleverly resolved details are evident throughout. Howitt Road showcases the skills of the five cabinet-makers who crafted furniture and built-ins to Fooks’ design requirements, including the respected furniture maker Shulim Krimper. All the specifically fabricated pieces remain as originally positioned in Fooks’ layout.
