A little on the history: The Forrest Townhouses, designed by architect Roy Grounds in 1959, consist of five townhouses, an attached bedsitter, and a separate courtyard house, connected by carports and a covered walkway. These townhouses are the only ones in Canberra designed by Grounds and reflect the post-war Melbourne regional style with their long rooflines, projecting eaves, and glass walls with timber mullions, while also displaying elements of the post-war international style. They are listed on the ACT Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) Register of Significant Twentieth Century Architecture. Notable residents have included former Prime Minister Sir William McMahon and Aldo Giurgola, the principal designer of the New Parliament House.
