Sydney - Potts Point Deco



I love Sydney. There’s a ton of cool swim spots, great places to eat out and some lovely architecture if you like Art Deco, which I do. According to Wikipedia Potts Point is the site of some of Australia's earliest apartment buildings so as a result has the highest concentration of Art Deco buildings in Australia. I took these pictures as I wandered through the suburb using type as a loose basis for a project but then segueing into taking a few snaps of the gorgeous geometric doorways and foyers of these buildings.

I love that many of the buildings have names and not just adjective-driven ones. Perhaps giving buildings nice names is something we should do more in Christchurch as the rebuild ramps up.
