Pine Court

Statement of Significance

One of Cottesloe's fine examples of flats. The type was common but the solution is very elegant.

Physical Description

"Pine Court", A symmetrical two storey duplex, c1930, it was formerly four flats. The original design drew
on some Mediterranean references, but detailing features domestic revival elements, such as the wall
finishes, chimneys, bay windows and lead lighting.
The facade features a twin arched two storey gable with the name Pine Court in raised lettering to the
spandrel at first floor. The upper windows have three panels, all leadlighted and a sun hood protects
them. The ground floor windows are in the bay format. The complex hipped roofs, old and new, are of
green painted terra cotta tiles. The walls are rendered with face brick strings and sills.
Odden & Rodriques refurbished the building in 1989/90 and extended the building by one bay north
and south in a sympathetic style.

1995 Comment: Exquisite block of four interwar flats sensitively altered in 1986/7 to be two homes. Dominant.
