The really very interesting Avenue Court by #IGAnderson, 1934. Described at the time as showing how ‘deeply the machine era is impressing itself on residential work’, I guess meaning it was new and different and modem, rather than implying stark modernism, coz this is more about plastic overlapping curved forms than square white Bauhaus.
It’s also interestingly open- it’s a block of 9, with stacks of three separated by open stairs and walkways, letting light into the middle. Anderson uses his signature railings, with attached short bits for extra ooopmh; sadly sort of filled with OH&S plastic. Excuse the contorted photos, another #damntree.
