funky Melbourne architecture

Where do you start ... Melbourne is full of surprising little developments, tucked into back lanes and streets of the inner city. Sydney councils mostly take it upon themselves to be the arbiters of what is suitable for our streetscapes. Like junior town planners really know....    Because of that all the really interesting stuff is down south. These are just a few for your amusement.   J

A little taste of organic architecture down the road from the Fitzroy fruit market.

Opposite is one of my favourite older, modernist residential buildings.
Sinking under the weight of unsightly tags...

What were they thinking. Just down the hill from Smith Street this building could almost
be seen as an homage to Dame Edna!! 

Lovely organic shaped precast walls with beautifully trained foliage
on simple wire security fence above lovely heritage style brick base wall.

I liked the little modernist fleur de lise head on the fence post.

Amazing (in it's simplicity) infill development. All visible surfaces seen above heritage
buildings are done in raised seam zincalume and galvanised steel.
