Burnham Flats, Geelong

Burnham Flats, a handsome block of flats in Geelong, in my opinion, is somewhat spoilt by the current paintwork. I think cream would work much better with the colour of the bricks. As you can see in the following photos, the black and aqua colours work very well on the doors but I really dislike it on the main body of the building.

The way the upstairs walkway comes around the corner of the building to form a small balcony area is delightful and introduces curved elements into an otherwise rectangular block.

The entrances to the flats are off a side street and no doubt the colours work better on the doors themselves.
