A piece of design work by Melbourne's most celebrated mid-century architect, Robin Boyd, fetched $1,515,000 at weekend auction in South Yarra.

Overlooking the Royal Botanic Gardens, more than $1.2 million had been tipped for the 4.3/193 Domain Road offering.

It is a two bedroom, one bathroom apartment in the Domain Park block.

Marshall White marketed the Robin Boyd-designed apartment, located in what was Melbourne's tallest residential tower on its 1962 completion.

The 20-level tower is divided into two wings, with separate lifts.

The apartment 4.3 is in the eastern wing with some original features including built-in timber-veneer wardrobes.

Melbourne had 743 homes scheduled for weekend auction, similar to the 736 auctioned at the same time last year.

The APM weekend clearance rate of 75.8% was the lowest recorded for six weekends.
