Comments

The designs and their realisation show ‘concrete cantilever window shades, smooth surfaces, and fulsome curved walls and ironwork, which have a repeated geometric basis’. There were also extensive built-in features and furniture (Jolly, B. Unley Park: An Architectural Portrait, 2012: 36-39; Hurren, Langman and James Collection, S247/34, Architecture Museum). Images may be also be found in 'Dr. and Mrs. Leon Opit's Modern Home in Unley Park', South Australian Homes and Gardens, July 1941, p.20.
