Metroland Art Deco Maisonettes - Kooyong

With people wishing to have smaller and more easily managed houses after the Great War (1914 - 1918), architects began designing new ways of living in the 1920s and 1930s including flats and maisonettes.

 

This Metroland style pair of maisonettes (two houses joined by a shared central wall), is a perfect example of this new way of living during the Interwar period.

 

This cottage style of red bricks with geometric patterns decoration in feature clinker and brown bricks, and Streamline Moderne windows follow the less cluttered lines of comfortable Metroland architecture that came out of England after the war.
