Elaborate Deakin home transforms with antique Parisian flair
A square plot in Deakin houses Mr and Mrs J E Fils where an ornate red brick residence rises on a 39 to 170 foot block. The design, attributed to heir of architect Rudi Krnatins, blends French Louis XIV style interiors with a modern brick exterior and a sunken living room. Luxuries include black walnut and mahogany furnishings from Sydney, Rembrandt prints, extensive drapery, a veranda spanning the base, and a projected swimming pool toward the rear lawn.
