Comments : Designed by McIntyre in collaboration with Kevin Borland. The building contained a supper hall and kitchen, foyer and office, was part of the master plan which included on the same site a future pre-school centre and two other buildings on the site were to be erected. The remaining buildings of the masterplan were never built, and Belfield was only McIntyre project using the Ctesiphon system. This system of concrete construction was "seen by the two architects in The Architects Journal and patented locally by the builders McDougall and Ireland. The system had also been employed by architect Felix Candela in his Cosmic Rays Pavilion at Ciudad Universitaria (Mexico, 1951); and the steeply formed arches (though not the same structural system) had been used by Oscar Niemeyer at his St Francis Xavier Church at Pampulha in Brazil (1943)." Goad, P., 'Optimism and Experiment in Melbourne: The early works of Peter McIntyre 1950-1961'. Similar thin shelled concrete parabolic arched buildings were also built at around this time by Kevin Borland [Rice House Eltham] and Robin Boyd [Wood Pharmacy and Residence, Ashburton].
