Guy Maron won first prize in the 1964 Clovercrest Housing Competition. Maron believed that the only way to get good housing outcomes is to design the subdivision simultaneously with the house design and not as two separate design exercises. Architectural historian Tim Reeves writes of the project that, ‘Maron's winning entry created an access road - now named after him - with homes angled in a staggered pattern and all oriented to the north-east for views and sun control. ...The scheme delivered skilfully conceived modernism in terms of both the residential and the site architecture, with innovative design and privacy in a seamless garden setting’ (Reeves 2025).
