How good was that? Those apartments have always fascinated me and have always wanted one. I have a question though…Obviously the public transport system is very different today but did Lawson also have a vision for the apartments having access to transport? Great doco though thank you, loved it

Thanks for this amazing piece of history, I had no idea! Dorrington House was the first place my boyfriend and I lived when we moved to Melbourne back in 1987. It was a beautiful apartment. I recently went to the cafe around the corner, just off Caroline st, which used to be our dairy/ milk bar and was flooded with memories. That whole area is just beautiful and I had no idea it was the visionary of 1 person. So terribly sad to hear he died at 59 and with no recognition at that time.😢

So this is why it’s so easy to love this stretch of Melbourne! All the buildings, though unique, speak the same language of the designer. I’ve loved this area since I was a kid. It has a magical fairytale charm about it.

I used to live just up from here, at the bottom of Punt Road, and there were a slew of others in their 20’s living in the apartment blocks beside mine. We had an adjoining lane/alley at the back and we’d have New Year’s parties and games nights and birthday celebrations full of red wine and music. I count it almost the best times of my life! I always loved the architecture and the spirit of the area so much! If I’d have had sense, I’d have bought my rented apartment when it went up for sale!

Everytime I drive past, I wish I lived in one of these apartments! I didn’t know there was so much history. I look forward to my next drive

It seems modern architecture is where creativity died

The Yes Experiment :
My friend and I were walking to the botanic gardens with the dogs one day and there was an elderly gentleman struggling to get from the bus stop to the stairs with his groceries. We offered to assist him and he lived in the top apartment of the red building, he said he had been there 40 years! It was like stepping back in time inside his apartment.

The red one on the corner of Punt and Alexander sold recently. I hope it’s restored under heritage law

have the buildings been well maintained? I'm surprised that they're still in such good condition, not a single crack to be seen

Completely unrelated, did the Hollywood sign used to say “HollywoodLand”?

That’s amazing, I must have passed those buildings a million times and had no idea Melbourne had our own Gaudi! Thanks for the insight!
