Varsity Walkups
The Varsity flats was cleverly conceived as an appearance of a two storey ‘mansion’ that successfully concealed eight flats within it’s large mass. Comprising as a domestically standard mansion with a low slung tiled hip roof, the eight flats are not obvious from the street scape.
It is noteworthy here to point out the preference for house ownership that well exceeded flats in Perth at the time.
What is remarkable though, is how Howard Krantz had successfully broken through this hard pressed culture and advocated to realized such a prolific portfolio of shared dwellings under one roof to resemble a standalone mansion.
The adjoining properties feature the similar ‘mansion’ typology or perceived as a oversized or "swollen" mansion.
Krantz’ maisonettes along Stirling highway exerts an ability to execute the typology of the English mansion while succeeding in establishing a higher density of housing along a major arterial road, while benefiting the economic returns for each unit.
Housing for Tourists
Spaces between Henderson's cottages south of the hotel were filled with additional, attached cottages, garden walls were built, and variegated brickwork was unified with stucco. At the north end of the Bay terraced houses were built at the seafront from 1972, continuing the effect of Henry Vincent's sea wall and the close association of the Board cottage with the beach. The pattern of cottage improvement and development south of the hotel was repeated at Bathurst Point by the same architects from 1975.
