"The Oaks" Flat Complex - Elsternwick

"The Oaks" is stylish Art Deco block of flats, painted in beautiful buttercup yellow in the Melbourne suburb of Elsternwick.

 

Very contemporary in its design at the time of construction during the 1930s, "The Oaks" follows the uncluttered lines of Art Deco architecture that came out of England after the Great War (1914 - 1918). It features stylised chimneys, Functionalist windows and speed lines around the balconies.
