Fine on New Beach Rd opposite Rushcutters Bay.
Discrete, calm character & good use of materials, super generous balconies with adjustable blinds provide good sunshading.
Only 12 apartments, so huge at 2/floor.
Anyone know the architect?

NSW @AusINSArchitect Awards 2;
Fine new & much needed public housing building in Liverpool rightly wins an @architecturensw Award.
Rigorous in design & construction, tailored precisely to tight urban site,
maximises northern sun while minimising overshadowing.
Bravo @turnerstudio & authority LAHC

The shifting rhythms of coloured blades to Elizabeth St in Surry Hills; by architects
Excellent scale & street presence, balconies open to north, but shield western sun.
The type of density & quality of design we so need more of!

Sydney cult architect Aaron Bolot’s 1950’s in Ethan Ave Darling Pt.
Similar arrangement but different expression to his masterpiece at 17 Wilde St Potts Pt - both 4 apartments/fl off 2 separate lifts, this one much glassier on NE face to harbour, face brickwork, colour🧵

‘Sea Dawn’ a classic red texture brick 3 storey walk up opposite Marks Park in Bondi.
Brick generally in excellent condition- even a hit & miss screen wall to the street!
A bit of concrete cancer to attend to however.
Likely mid 60’s construction

A favourite on angle of Oxford & Wallis Sts opposite Centennial Park.
Have long admired this , obviously it’s acute urban setting, but also it’s skilful massing & geometric resolution, its window design, it’s architectural confidence
