Alkira House

Alkira House is a remarkable Art Deco office building located in Melbourne, Australia, designed by architect James Wardrop and completed in 1936. Notable for being the first building in Australia to incorporate glass bricks, its façade features striking black and white vertical terracotta tiles that create a visual journey to its impressive steeple. Recognized for its architectural significance, Alkira House is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register and offers a unique opportunity for visitors, with at least one apartment available for short-term stays on the second floor.
