The "San Diego" Flats - St Kilda
These stark, yet sleek Art Deco flats named "San Diego" are in the inner Melbourne suburb of St Kilda. Very Streamline Moderne in style, they have rectangular Functionalist style metal window frames picked out in black against the white concrete walls. The "speed lines" along the roofline are picked out similarly in black. The flats' name is cast in Functionalist Art Deco script. Stylised rounded Art Deco balconies feature along the left-hand side of the building. Even the downpipes are deliciously Deco!
The whole complex is surrounded by its original streamline Art Deco stuccoed brick fence and gabled gate with red brick horizontal lines and wrought iron detailing.
Althought built in the late 1930s, "San Diego" could have been built yesterday, as it is still so contemporary.
