More New Lambton

On the slightly less grand side and definately more quirky....

The local church (now a house apparently) is a excellent example of dometic scale 50's architecture. Note the layering of textures, nothing goes better than ashlar and brick.
This house astounds me, it's so funky with an unabashed use of vibrant colour and texture. There are quite a few examples of red brick, blue roofed houses in Newcastle, but this I should imagine is the best example.
I love the bold colour combination. No one is this brave anymore.

Immaculately neat


This unasuming house is a really interesting take on Ventura style. Window profiles in both fire engine red and canary yellow. 2 different brick materials and the letter box is oversized. v postmodern

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE...wish I could pick these houses up and bring them to Syd...actually, no, there were plenty of them but silly people keep buying them and rendering them...TRAGEDY! So best keep them in New Lambton.
