Burnett House at Myilly Point

Burnett House, constructed in 1939, is one of four houses comprising the significant tropical housing precinct built for executive level public servants at Myilly Point, Darwin. The houses are significant individually and as a group. Burnett House, along with the other remaining three houses, are the best surviving examples of the work of B.C.G. Individually and as a group the houses are architecturally significant for incorporating a range of design features adapted to Darwin's tropical climate including the incorporation of cross ventilation, an elevated floor, louvred openings, pitched roof, wide eaves and internal partition walls not to full height. The houses represent a major design development which influenced the design for tropical housing in Darwin and the north of Australia.
