Art Deco Flats - South Yarra

Rising above a protective hedge of trees, these red brick Art Deco flats on Alexandra Avenue in the Melbourne suburb of South Yarra afford splendid views overlooking the Yarra River to Richmond and the Melbourne city skyline.

 

Made of red brick and concrete they are very Streamline Moderne, feature Functionalist windows and are typical of the style of avant-garde architecture that grew in popularity amongst the more affluent areas of Melbourne in the late 1930s.
