Slats

Clever facades on buildings always catch my eye. These are a couple around town with similar themes. This car sales room at Bowen Hills on Burrows St is finished off with powder coated aluminium profile slats.

The same effect in Knapp St, Fortitude Valley, done with timber slats.

To get to Knapp St you have to drive past the amazing and always eye catching office of Riddel Architects. This photo is prior to them converting the site to their office. The building was originally designed for West's Furniture by Karl Langer in 1953. West's held the licence to manufacture Knoll furniture and in 1954 the Queen even stopped in at West's as it caught her attention also. With Riddel Architects now operating out of this building the goldfish once again swim in the "moat".
