Rogart (flats) |
| Significance |
Rogart (flats) demonstrates an important evolution in the way South Australians lived during the twentieth century. Rogart (flats) is a high-quality example of the purpose-built flat developments that began to reshape the suburbs after the First World War, providing the middle class with a popular alternative to conventional detached housing. Designed by Adelaide architects Lawson and Cheesman and constructed in 1936, Rogart (flats) marks a turning point in the development of purpose-built interwar flats in South Australia. Rogart (flats) was the first to be designed with a `cascading' front elevation, a feature that was widely emulated, and the first designed in a modern style, in this case, an interwar streamlined style. Rogart (flats) is an uncommon example of this new, modern way of living, as the Second World War brought a halt to the construction of dwellings. Rogart (flats) is also an outstanding example of interwar streamlined architecture articulating many of the key attributes of the style such as bold, asymmetrical massing, rounded corners, and horizontal emphasis with contrasting vertical relief. |
