Raymond Jones

Raymond Alfredo Daniel Jones (18 July 1925 – 22 September 2022) was an Australian Modernist architect. His work includes many building types, including residential, ecclesiastical, educational, commercial, and prefabricated kit buildings.

Like his mentor Robin Boyd,

During his studies, Jones played Australian rules football for Collingwood and Melbourne from 1946 to 1949.

Jones moved to Western Australia in 1953 and began his own practice in Perth. where Jones heavily referenced the architectural teachings of Boyd. and always strived to create buildings which rely on more passive systems. He states that, "We ought to legislate that there is no air-conditioning in new homes and that a building license should only be issued if they build along renewable energy principles. You can do it well without building expensively". "We are just not going forward at all, we are going backward". 1957: Silbert House, Barcoo Avenue/Doonan Road, Nedlands, Western Australia 1957: Ash House, Hammersley Street, Trigg, Western Australia 1958: Gerrard House, Page Street, Attadale, Western Australia 1959: Freedman House, Alyth Road, Floreat, Western Australia 1959: Staff Club UWA (Competition Entry), The University of Western Australia 1960: Church of St Cecilia, Kenmore Crescent, Floreat, Western Australia 1961: N&S Hubbard House, Nairn Rd, Applecross, Western Australia 1962: Church of St Peter, Wood Street, Bedford, Western Australia 1962: Lysaght Offices, Norma Road/McCoy Street, Myaree, Western Australia 1962: Mingenew Court House, Moore Street/William Street, Mingenew, Western Australia 1963: Rankine-Wilson House, The Boulevard, Floreat, Western Australia 1963: V&B Hubbard House, Oceanic Drive, Floreat, Western Australia 1964: Lisle House, Pindari Road, City Beach, Western Australia 1964: WWF Point Peron Camp, Point Peron 1964: Our Lady of Lourdes Memorial Church, Flinders Street, Nollamara, Western Australia 1965: 'New Day Nursery, High Street/Parry Street, Fremantle, Western Australia 1966: Carbon Duplex, Point Walter Road/ Beach Street, Bicton, Western Australia 1968: CIL Offices, Clontarf Road, Hamilton Hill, Western Australia 1969: Premier Motors, Elder Street/ Hay Street, Perth, Western Australia 1970: Winterfold Primary School, Annie Street, Hamilton Hill, Western Australia 1971: Raymond Jones House, Ainslie Road, North Fremantle, Western Australia 1972: Commonwealth Bank Cannington, Albany Highway, Cannington, Western Australia 1974: Edwards House, Lobelia Drive/ Dryandra Crescent, Greenmount, Western Australia 1976: Nulungu Chapel, Broome, Western Australia 1976: Christian Community Village, Buckland Road, Jarradale 1979: Parliament House (Competition Entry), Canberra, ACT 1980: Majestic Hotel (Competition Entry), Fraser Road, Applecross, Western Australia 1981: Summers House, Brand Highway (near Eneabba, Western Australia) 1981: Webse House, Jarradale Road, Jarradale 1984: RAC Albany, Albany Hwy, Albany, Western Australia 1988: Clunies Ross House, Brindal Close, Bicton, Western Australia 1988/9: Tetrakit 1990: Brodwyn Graham House, Edina Court, Two Rocks, Western Australia 1991: Cann & Hicks House, Sapho Place, Two Rocks, Western Australia 1992: Desmond Sands Duplex, Haining Avenue, Cottesloe, Western Australia 2008: Tschaplin Jones House, Pensioner Guard Road, North Fremantle, Western Australia
