His houses were described by Robin Boyd as being in the best Australian tradition of horizontally bleached colours and decorative shadows ... a line of development, unaffected, uncomplicated and an undeviating search for simplicity. Ancher's houses and buildings were designed to adapt to the conditions of their Australian bushland sites. He made extensive use of open planning, pergolas and wide terraces, opening the interior of his white painted houses to the landscape. After graduating from Sydney Technical College in 1930 Ancher won the Board of Architects of New South Wales Travelling Scholarship. He then worked in London and travelled throughout Europe, where he was exposed to the architecture and ideas of Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and other Bauhaus architects prior to the Second World War. Ancher had not been exposed to modernist ideas in his formal education and his travels in Europe had a great influence on his architecture.
