A Streamline Moderne Villa of Red and Brown Bricks - Coonans Hill
Built in a ribbon development along a tramline during the 1930s, this clinker brick Streamline Moderne Art Deco villa in the Melbourne suburb of Coonans Hill is very evocative of the age when modernity and minimalism were the keywords of the day.
The choice of locally manufactured red and brown bricks, the Art Deco swirls just discernible on the wrought-iron vestibule grille, the clinker brick features above the windows and the geometric patterns in the leadlight and frost glass windows are typical of the uncluttered lines of Australian Art Deco architecture in the late 30s, just before the Second World War. However what makes this villa so much more unusual than its more traditional neighbours is its wonderful rounded enclosed vestibule. Rounded and featuring minimal decoration it is the epitome in Streamline Moderne living for the chic 1930s family!
The whole house is surrounded by well kept garden of magnolias, roses and camelias with hedges and a well kept lawn.
