33 Uvadale Grove - Physical Description 1
The design of this house was very heavily influenced by Nicholls's long association with the office of WaIter Burley Griffin; Nicholls having been in charge of Griffin's Melbourne office from 1924 until 1932[2] The house is clad in roughcast render and its overall massing is a combination of cubes. It is two storeyed, with the height of the second floor having been reduced by it being set into the hip roof. There is an emphasis on horizontality across the house, through the use of very wide eaves with strongly defined edges delineated with box gutters. The eaves act cc a continuation of the wall treatment with the roughcast returning under the eave soffit, In its decorative treatment, the house reflects the type of Art Deco practiced by Griffin, in the geometricized leadlight windows, while Griffin's influence is also apparent in the planter boxes that nestle next to the ground floor.
