Here (above) is a link to a very in-depth analysis of St Lucia House, and its significance as a design.
The main points are as follows:
1) "it is a novel spatial configuration for housing that demonstrates an economically feasible, socially and environmentally sustainable and aesthetically and culturally desirable model of higher density family living for South-East Queensland".
2) "demonstrates a high level of achievement in the art and science of architecture".
3) "exemplify and influence academic, professional and public acceptance of a ‘regional modernist’ theoretical position and its values in Queensland".
4) "exemplify an appropriate model for future research by design within the field of architecture"
