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.

    I'm intrigued by those gates/doors in the front wall, Thomas. Are they garages?

    I do recall someone saying that they were like beach house type rooms, as if you turn around the bay area is right in front of you.
