Just to round off, ill get into some good stuff tomorow.( not that this is bad, i just dont know anything about it). Fremantle offices, next to the ray jones squash courts. Really really good example of high modernism. Great use of brix soleil and block patterning. Also see the staircase and interesting glazing arrangements. Just superb. Im sorry i dont know more!

This is a house in John street. iHave no idea about it at all, but i walked by it, and i thought it was astoundounding. Residential architecture does not get much more austere and severe, and beautiful than this! Pretty hard line modernism from the early 70s i would guess, great use of red brick and yellow glass. It may have dated in the colour scheme, but the idea and geometry is still as fresh as ever.  I love the way its kind of half perched and nestled in to the slope. It really looks like it belongs there. great.
