Looks like maybe a #Bauhaus design ? Actually it was built in Toorak in 1936. Came across this photo while updating the Wikipedia entry for #GeoffreyMewton, so now I know that in the 1930s he did some of the most Modernist houses In Melbourne! But mostly demolished. All white or brick rectangular volumes, with flat roofs (though Phillip Goad points out they were more Bauhaus-look than strictly Modern, but never mind). This one is in Grosvenor Court, sadly now unrecognisable (photo 2). The 3rd photo is one from 1934, in Aphrasia Street, Geelong, long gone now ☹️ very striking. There was a third in this vein, at 2 Riverview Road Essendon, 1936 (4th and 5th photos, still standing). He also did a very cute single storey white brick house in Halifax Street Brighton in c1935 which won an equal first Architect’s Institute prize in the Ideal Home Show of 1936, demolished in the 80s. He did all these while a partner with #RoyGrounds, 1933-37, where apparently they did their stuff separately. Before that they were students together and then travelled in 1930 to London together too, checking out all the latest things.
