Melbourne Houses - Art Deco

·      Came to prominence in 1925 at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris - then called "Style Moderne" which eventually became Art Deco

·      Officially the Deco period ended in 1939. Deco design was not restricted to architecture, also influencing fashion, furniture, jewellery, art, films etc

·      Deco architecture style is about symmetry, clean, bold, simple geometric lines & shapes, combined with beautiful finishes in stone, concrete, brass, glass  

·      I love doing Deco searches. A house I viewed in Ivanhoe early this year was an incredible example of Deco - I felt like I was on a 1930s ocean liner! Perhaps my favourite Melbourne residential deco building is the Beverley Hills apartment block at 65 Darling St in South Yarra, It was built in 1935 - 36 & designed by Howard Lawson. The swimming pool is particularly charming. I like it so much I Airbnb ed an apartment there to fully experience it. Well worth a visit, & afterwards walk around the corner to Lawson Grove Shop - completed in 1930 - for a coffee  

·      If you are a Deco fan - Potts Point in Sydney has Australia’s most concentrated collection of Deco buildings

·      As well as its obvious aesthetic appeal the supply & demand equation - very limited supply (& in highly desirable inner city suburbs) & consistent intense demand -makes it a very good capital growth play      

A Little About Scott

“I love property.

And, with the growth of buyer advocacy in Australia, I got to give up a corporate life, build my expertise in property and help my clients who say that I save them money and time and find them properties, it is highly unlikely they would have found themselves. 

I focus on a selected number of suburbs in Melbourne and don't take on too many clients at any one time because I prefer to spend the time on each search that I know makes all the difference to my clients.”
