Art Deco Apartment - Brisbane

I documented the Art Deco Coronet Flats in my last blog entry and I thought it fitting to highlight these flats as they are next door to Coronet. I like this building because the main stairwell is the main feature, it's as if it has been just attached later to the main building! It's dominant and works a treat with white render finish and class cubes to allow the sunlight to enter the stairwell. You also know you're in the sub-tropics with the building surrounded by palm trees and a evergreen creeper making it's way up the building.

Today Art Deco & Modernism Architecture Australia looks at an intriguing Art Deco design that form an apartment block in Brisbane. They would have to rate as one of the most interesting and stunning examples of Art Deco apartment design in Brisbane.
The flats were completed in 1933 and the interesting use of brick work that is stepped back from the main entrance is stunning, as other the other period embellishments such as tiles and glass work.
