Berg and Alexandra
Berg and Alexandra was an Australian architecture firm from 1962-1996, based in Chelsea House, on Flemington Road in North Melbourne. The firm was formed by a partnership between two Melbourne architects Raymond Berg, born in 1913 in South Melbourne, and Douglas Alexandra, born in 1922 in Shepparton, Victoria. Berg retired in 1983 and died five years later, with Alexandra retiring in 1996 and selling the practice to Hudson and Wardrop. Berg and Alexandra were among the first post-war Australian architects to produce modernist works. They were heralded for their simple, stripped back designs that broke away form ‘the old familiar features’ of Australian Architecture.〔The Encyclopedia of Australian Architecture, Goad, Phillip, Cambridge University Press, 2012〕
==Personal life==
Raymond Berg, born Raymond Schmerberg, was educated at the Brunswick Technical College and later studied a Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Melbourne. He graduated and earned a position in the office of Leighton Irwin, where he remained until 1941. In November 1942, Berg enlisted with the RAAF and was discharged with the rank of flying officer in 1946. In 1949 berg was offered a position as a senior lecturer at the University of Melbourne. During this time Berg undertook very few commissions, designing two residences, a medical clinic in Mitcham (1955) and a Christ Church also in Mitcham (1958). Berg briefly entered into a partnership with Hub Waugh, whom he had worked with in the office of Leighton Irwin, and together they designed a house, based on a triangular plan, in Clayton. The majority of his projects have since been demolished including Berg’s own house in Kew. In 1962 Berg entered into practice with fellow University lecturer Douglas Alexandra.〔Built Heritage Pty Ltd, Raymond Berg, Dictionary of Unsung Architects, www.builtheritage.com.au〕
Douglas Alexandra, born Diomedes Alexandratos, graduated from Caulfield Grammar in 1940 and worked in drafting and land surveying offices until December 1942 when he joined the RAAF. His plane was shot down during a Lancaster mission and he was incarcerated for one year in the German war camp Stalag Luft III. Discharged from the RAAF in 1946, he began a Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Melbourne. After graduating Alexandra opened his own firm and soon established himself as one of ‘Melbourne’s first post-war modernist architects’. Alexandra designed a series of residences and two kindergartens, one in Beaumaris (1956) and one in Burwood (1957), as well as a regional art gallery and library complex in Hamilton, Victoria. During the 1950s Alexandra lectured in design at the University of Melbourne, alongside Raymond Berg, before the two went into practice together in 1962.〔Built Heritage Pty Ltd, Douglas Alexandra, Dictionary of Unsung Architects, www.builtheritage.com.au〕
