Ingham Squash Courts typeface + repeating design

Ingham in North Queensland has a wonderful diversity of mid 20th Century buildings, including this little gem, the Ingham squash courts.  The building dates around the 1960/70s and I love how the building uses repetitious patterns and how the blinds also give the building a striking vertical flow.  I love the typeface of this building, typeface always plays a large part of what I do when I go about photographing buildings.

Ostend Flats, Brighton - Melbourne

These stunning flats located in the suburb of Brighton, Melbourne were designed by architect, I.G Anderson.  He designed many great examples of Art Deco architecture in Victoria as well as Tasmania.  A notable example in Melbourne city that he designed included Lonsdale House that was only recently demolished.  Check out these flats named "Dorijo" in Fitzroy, Melbourne, also designed by Anderson. Note that Ostend, Lonsdale House and Dorijo are all adorned with tower turrets.
