In 1954 the current professor of architecture at The University of Melbourne left for overseas travel, and Featherstone was appointed Acting Professor of Architecture. He had still retained the right to private practice and designed the house known as "Blue Peter"(1956) which gained national recognition when it was published in Neil Clerehan’s book "The Best Australian Houses". In December 1957, Featherstone was given the position of staff architect at The University of Melbourne and worked on notable buildings on the University's Parkville campus, including the Redmond Barry building and the Raymond Priestley building. He retired as the staff architect in 1972 and was given an honorary Master of Philosophy degree. He later moved to Canberra where he was a consultant for the Australian Universities Commission; in 1978 he retired and returned once again to Melbourne.
