About Raymond Jones (architect)

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, Jones continued to experiment with ideas of space and environmental design. His architectural works promote passive environmental systems, and has become a leader in the implementation of sustainable design practices in Western Australia. His first significant architectural project was his own residence, the 'Jones House', in Haining Avenue, Cottesloe, where Jones heavily referenced the architectural teachings of Boyd.
