A solitary concrete bench sits against a wall of glossy turquoise tiles, their surface reflecting the dappled light and shadows of unseen trees. The scene is quiet and contemplative, with the worn red hexagonal floor tiles and scattered leaves hinting at a public, perhaps neglected, outdoor space. The composition is stark and minimalist, drawing the eye to the interplay of color, texture, and reflected light.
Situated at 25 to 29 Barkly Street in the Victorian provincial city of Ballarat, the former East Ballarat Free Library is to this day, still an imposing building. When it was built in 1867, it must have been even more imposing, as it would have been one of only a few permanent structures in the area, which was filled with tents as the are was hit by goldmining fever.
The East Ballarat Free Library is not only imposing, but has an unusual design using polychromatic brickwork to define separate highly individual elements of the facade, rather like much of the Methodist Church architecture built during slightly later periods. The library is the only known work of the architect C. Ohlfsen Bagge, and dates from 1867. At that date it represents an early use of coloured brick-work in Victoria. The building is of architectural importance as an early example of the polychromatic Gothic Revival style which survives substantially intact with a number of fine interiors including the spiral staircase, the original library, the hall and the pine-lined rear rooms. The construction of the front section of the Barkly Street was completed in 1869. C. Ohlfsen-Bagge acted as honorary architect and the interior design and supervision as carried out by J. J. Lorenz. The builders were Boulton and Fyfe and the interiors were completed by Fly Brothers.
Established in 1862 the East Ballarat Free Library was amongst the earliest of Ballarat's social and educational institutions and when housed in its own building in Barkly Street, the library built up an outstanding collection which was second in Australia only to the State Library of Victoria . It served as a focal point for educational purposes; the school of design founded there in 1870 advancing to become the Ballarat East branch of the school of mines in the 1900s. The library was officially closed in 1973 after a life of 111 years. The books were taken to the Camp Street Library and the Ballarat Historical Society's exhibits were moved from Camp St to the Old Ballarat East Library. In 1980 the Ballarat School of Mines Council presented a proposal to the Ballarat City Council regarding occupying and managing the East Ballarat Free Library as a School of Traditional Crafts. The proposal included maintaining the building in optimum condition. In 1983, land formally occupied by the East Ballarat Free Library in Barkly St was gazetted as a reserve for educational purposes and allocated to the Ballarat School of Mines.

The church building is architecturally quite striking with a formal composition with elements of a Ruskinian Italian Gothic style.

The tall blind arcading of the tower is similar to the Campanile at Venice. The tower has an arcaded corbel table with trefoil arches, above which is a parapet with quatrefoil openings surmounted by a slate clad pyramidal roof. The lower part of the building consists of more conventional elements. There are two occuli in the gable ends flanking the tower and the banded Gothic openings have nail head brick label moulds. At the base of the tower there are two entrance doors under a Gothic banded arch surrounded by cream brick nail head moulding, and an outer Scotia label mould; these continue down to a low impost height and return horizontally as a string course across the facade. Banded Gothic openings and a patterned string course at low impost height lightens the heaviness of the red brickwork. The side elevation has the same nail head and Scotia string course at impost level rising up as stilted segmental arches over the double lancet windows in each of the five bays.

A close-up shot captures the intricate, faceted surface of a translucent, crystal-like sculpture. The complex, honeycomb-like pattern creates a mesmerizing play of light and shadow, with each cell reflecting the warm ambient lighting and revealing subtle internal textures. The object rests on a wooden surface, contrasting the organic grain with the precise, man-made geometry of the sculpture.

Pavement (Trompe-l'oeil) in the House of the Faun, Pompeii, Italy
Hiding behind its impressive hedge, this neat, stylised Mock Tudor "Metroland" 1920s villa may be found on Milfay Avenue in the Melbourne suburb of Moonee Ponds.
Well proportioned, this stand alone villa uses red and brown bricks to their full advantage as a facade treatment with only a tiny amount of rough cast stuccoed bricks and latticework on the half-timbered gable. The enclosed vestibule has painted bricks in a stepped pattern around its entrance. To add to its bucolic cottage like appearance, the stained glass windows have ornamental shutters to either side of them. Even the lamp above the vestibule entrance is in keeping with the old English feel.
This style of house would have appealed to the newly moneyed middle-classes who could finally afford to leave the inner city buy their own homes in the burgeoning suburbs. Comfortable and very English, it would have shown respectablity and moderate wealth without undue showiness.
Moonee Ponds, like its neighbouring boroughs of Ascot Vale and Essendon, was etablished in the late 1880s and early 1890s. However, unlike its neighbours, it was an area of affluence and therefore only had middle-class, upper middle-class and some very wealthy citizens.

Although not famous for its Art Deco architecture, the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat, which was established between the 1860s and 1880s when the area was at the centre of a gold rush, does have some fine examples of interwar and post war architecture when the gold boom was replaced with wealth generated through grazing and agriculture.
During the 1920s and 1930s, those people thriving from farming or local industry had plenty to spend in local shops. This wonderful Art Deco facade (circa 1925 - 1930) belongs to the PPL Building in Ballarat's main shopping thoroughfare, Sturt Street. Whilst the street level may have fallen victim to the changes in marketing, the upper floors remain unchanged by fickle owners. It still retains its striking minimalist Art Deco design. It features the building's name in a rounded cartouche on the building's corner facade which overlooks Albert Street. The PPL Building has a stylised stepped roofline, long spandrels with rounded edging and glass brick windows, all of which were popular architectural features of the Art Deco movement in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The rounded edges are very representative of the Streamline Moderne movement, and the building is everything a smart and successful business would want in the booming interwar years in Australia.

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.

Built between the two World Wars, this wonderfully stylised Streamline Moderne Art Deco Villa of clinker brick is in one of the finer suburbs of Ballarat.
The villa is large and stand alone, with its original garage next to it. The clean uncluttered lines of the villa attest to the architectural fashions of the Art Deco movement during the 1920s and 1930s. Streamline Moderne features include the brown brick banding mid way around the wall and the top of the enclosed vestibule. It also features large sash windows.
A house of this style would have appealed to a moneyed upper-class Ballarat family who wished to express their chic artistic advancement, and would have displayed their wealth and standing in the Ballarat community.
This Spanish Mission style villa with its impressive canopied entrance may be found in the Victorian provincial city of Ballarat.
Built of red and brown bricks, this smart villa with its stuccoed wall treatment is far simpler than some of its older late Victorian or Federation Queen Anne style neighbours, extolling the clean lines of the Art Deco movement so popular across Britain and her dominions during the 1920s and 1930s. The overall design of the villa is very in keeping with the Spanish Mission Movement. The stuccoed wall treatment, ledged and boarded windows with their fan detailing and the decorative parapet over the entrance with its barley twist columns are typical features of Spanish Mission style architecture. However, decoration typical of the "Metroland" Art Deco period are present as well: most notably in the window design which features leadlight glass, rather than stained glass, in geometric patterns. This is also reflected in the arched front door.
The Spanish Mission style was typically a style that emerged in California during the interwar years and spread across the world.
This style of home was one that aspirational middle-class families in the 1920s sought. Cottage like in style, it represented the comfort and modernity that the burgeoning Australian middle-class wanted.
The Alexandria Tea Rooms at 26 to 34 Lydiard Street in the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat, was apparently constructed for the Commercial Club in 1872.
The building is designed in the conservative Classical Revival style. The iron verandah is distinctive in design and the balustrade panel motif is most unusual and may be of local origin. The use of the triple window motif for the windows at first floor level is unusual. A double storey cast iron verandah faces the building, with paired columns at each end and supporting the central gabled section, a motif repeated in the balustraded parapet. The iron verandah balustrade is distinctive. Roman Doric pilasters and columns face the ground floor and a triple window motif is repeated above.
The Alexandria Tea Rooms forms part of an important streetscape of Lydiard Street in the centre of Ballarat's business district and is part of the townscape of historic Ballarat. It is historically important and is of architectural consequence for its detailing and verandah.

Soft morning sunlight filters through a sheer curtain adorned with a geometric pattern of stitched rectangles, casting intricate shadows across the room. Outside, the silhouette of trees and a balcony railing is visible, while in the foreground, a cluster of white flowers adds a touch of natural elegance to the tranquil, sun-drenched scene. The interplay of light, shadow, and texture creates a serene and contemplative atmosphere.
This block of Art Deco flats in East Melbourne has a wonderful entranceway with geometric Jazz Age designs around it.
This block of flats is typical of the Art Deco architecture that came out of England after the war. They are as chic today as when they were first built in the 20s or early 30s.

Designed by local architectural firm Terry and Oakden, the former Wesleyan Church of Ballarat was constructed between 1883 and 1884. Built on the corner of Lydiard and Dana Streets, on the crest of a steep hill, the former Wesleyan Church is architecturally significant as an important and essentially intact example of the work of the prominent firm of architects Terry and Oakden.
The Gothic design of the former Wesleyan Church, which skilfully handles a difficult site, is important as a striking example of polychromatic brickwork. The elongated windows of the former Wesleyan Church, with geometric tracery, are also of significance for their notched brickwork diaper patterns, together with the horizontal wall banding the lozenge motifs.
The buildings are of historical significance as a symbol of faith and identity of the Wesleyan community in Ballarat, which was, at the time of construction, was one of the wealthiest cities in Victoria, indeed Australia, at the time.
The buildings are significant in their ability to indicate the aspirations and values of Wesleyans in the colony in the Nineteenth Century. Whilst Wesleyans typically constructed austere chapels, it is probable that this elaborate church at Ballarat was intended to be a symbol of the faith of Ballarat Wesleyans.

After the Great War (1914 - 1918), a new generation of young people who had survived the war years wanted nothing more than to live their lives in a way that challenged their parents' conventions. They longed for independance and no longer wanted to live in the Victorian and Edwardian villas that were their family homes.
Somewhere like these Arts and Crafts style aprtments in the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat would have suited the newly independant young woman or a well-to-do bachelor. With its Arts and Crafts brick detailing, pebble-dash wall treatment and large windows, this small block of boutique flats would have been light filled and comfortable, as well as being spacious enough to create a new kind of gracious living, without the need of a retinue of servants.
This block with its brickwork, angular roofline and leadlight windows is typical of the post war Arts and Crafts movement that came out of England.

The church building is architecturally quite striking with a formal composition with elements of a Ruskinian Italian Gothic style.

The tall blind arcading of the tower is similar to the Campanile at Venice. The tower has an arcaded corbel table with trefoil arches, above which is a parapet with quatrefoil openings surmounted by a slate clad pyramidal roof. The lower part of the building consists of more conventional elements. There are two occuli in the gable ends flanking the tower and the banded Gothic openings have nail head brick label moulds. At the base of the tower there are two entrance doors under a Gothic banded arch surrounded by cream brick nail head moulding, and an outer Scotia label mould; these continue down to a low impost height and return horizontally as a string course across the facade. Banded Gothic openings and a patterned string course at low impost height lightens the heaviness of the red brickwork. The side elevation has the same nail head and Scotia string course at impost level rising up as stilted segmental arches over the double lancet windows in each of the five bays. The combination of unusual elements in patterned relief brickwork, and the imposing superimposed Venetian Campanile combine to make this a unique church composition.

These intricately carved wooden doors once welcomed visitors into Ruth Asawa’s own San Francisco home. The swirling patterns feel alive—organic forms flowing with a quiet rhythm, echoing the movement in her wire sculptures. It’s not just a door; it’s an extension of her artistic language, sculpted by hand and infused with care. Standing before them, you feel her presence—protective, playful, and deeply rooted in craft. These doors are more than entryways; they’re guardians of a life lived in devotion to art, family, and form. A deeply personal work, now shared with the world.

Located on Ballarat’s Doveton Street, the former Lutheran Church was built in 1876 to the grand designs of local Ballarat architect C. D. Figgis and was constructed by Taylor & Ellis.
The church building is architecturally quite striking with a formal composition with elements of a Ruskinian Italian Gothic style. It features with banded brick arches, Lombardic motifs and an attenuated version of a stepped arcaded corbel table leading to the central tower. The tall blind arcading of the tower is similar to the Campanile at Venice. The tower has an arcaded corbel table with trefoil arches, above which is a parapet with quatrefoil openings surmounted by a slate clad pyramidal roof. The lower part of the building consists of more conventional elements. There are two occuli in the gable ends flanking the tower and the banded Gothic openings have nail head brick label moulds. At the base of the tower there are two entrance doors under a Gothic banded arch surrounded by cream brick nail head moulding, and an outer Scotia label mould; these continue down to a low impost height and return horizontally as a string course across the facade. Banded Gothic openings and a patterned string course at low impost height lightens the heaviness of the red brickwork. The side elevation has the same nail head and Scotia string course at impost level rising up as stilted segmental arches over the double lancet windows in each of the five bays. The combination of unusual elements in patterned relief brickwork, and the imposing superimposed Venetian Campanile combine to make this a unique church composition.
Something rounded, modern.
All white? Or maybe with some green? Or Yellow, Or pink. Even black and white is cool
There will be ducks and frogs.
And some plants. They're cute in bathrooms.
