The Fulton Residence is a heritage-listed detached house at 209 Indooroopilly Road, Taringa, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

The house was designed in a modified international style and won the 1948 Queensland Royal Australian Institute of Architects award for meritorious architecture.

[1] Charles Fulton choose to build his home at a time when the inner western suburbs of St Lucia and Taringa were being opened up for development.

In the post-war period a number of architects settled in the St Lucia area, including of Karl Langer, Edwin James Hayes, Campbell Royston Scott and Vitaly Gzell.

[1] Charles Fulton was born in Sydney in 1906 and received his architectural training as an articled pupil of Francis Ernest Stowe, architect and civil engineer.

He was particularly interested in the work of Dutch architect Willem Dudok, whose Hilverusm Town Hall was influential in Britain in the early thirties.

[1] Charles Fulton was a key practitioner and teacher of the modern trends in architectural design in Queensland during the late thirties and forties.

All these later buildings were characterised by low pitched roofs, linear planning, cross ventilation, wide eaves or awnings and the use of modern materials.

The house demonstrates how, in the interwar period, European architectural ideas were transferred to Australia and modified to local conditions.

In the immediate post war period the western Brisbane suburbs of St Lucia, Taringa and Indooroopilly were the location of many experiments with modern domestic architecture and the Fulton Residence is part of this tradition.

The Fulton Residence is an excellent intact Queensland example of the international style of architecture, with its use of modern materials, and the asymmetrical balance of horizontal and vertical elements.
