Chronicles of a Fading Glory

Red Hill Restaurant
Documentation, 2023
Miles Jakl
Located at Red Hill in Deakin, the Red Hill Carousel Restaurant was designed by Miles Jakl in 1964, and later expanded by Enrico Taglietti. 
Its unique 12-sided structure was a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its architects, embodying the spirit of a time long gone.Despite its significance, the restaurant had undergone a period of closure and abandonment for several years. During this transitional state, the building came perilously close to a permanent state of abandonment, highlighting how quickly even iconic structures can fall into disuse.
