Palais de Danse, St Kilda
The Palais de Danse was originally located in St Kilda’s Lower Esplanade, inner southern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The Palais de Danse once stood as a striking piece of interwar architecture. Constructed in 1925, it was designed by the renowned American architect, Walter Burley Griffin (1876–1937), and his wife Marion Griffin (1871–1961).
== Architecture ==
The Palais de Danse embraced the Interwar period in architecture, which saw the emergence of the newer modern styles, in response to the Great Depression. Architectural styles of this period portrayed in the Palais de Danse included Modern and Classical.
The Griffin’s short-lived two-storey interior for the relocated old timber Palais de Danse has been illustrated as an interesting Modernist design of purely geometrical elements, in a sequence of ascending vertical chevron panels, like vertebrae. The gently arched ceiling was supported on organic trunks, with umbrella branches in folded, prismatic forms. It seated as many as 2,870 patrons. Its triangular entrance awning was supported on staggered columns.〔
The Palais de Danse was commonly used as a hall and is remembered for its magical atmosphere.〔 Although supported by abstracted Doric columns, the frieze above was entirely Modernist, with complex, prismatic panels up lit. On hot nights, the louvered wall panels hinged up, to capture sea breezes wafting off the bay.〔
