Flats, Sydney

Flats, Sydney

An interesting block of flat around Moore Park in Sydney. As is common in Sydney this building uses bricks for most of the decoration. The rampart-style roofline hides a conventional pitched roof and the brick fin is a lovely feature.

It almost looks like two separate buildings have been joined by an entrance and stairwell, the tell-tale block of glass bricks providing light for the communal space.

At the street level on the corner some work has been done. Perhaps it was once a corner shop or a car crashed into it. It's a pity the brick don't quite match and it leaves that rendered eyebrow wrapping around the corner for no real purpose ... but that doesn't mean I prefer it was removed ... just interested what was originally at that corner.
