Cairo Flats is a heritage-listed apartment building in the Melbourne inner city suburb of Fitzroy. [1] The building was designed in 1935 by architect Acheson Best Overend and built in 1936. [2]
It is a U-shaped, two story building comprising 28 apartments, mostly studio flats. [3] Overend was influenced by modernist architect Wells Coates and the " minimum flat concept". [2] Each apartment was designed to "provide maximum amenity in minimum space for minimum rent". [3] The building's cantilevered external concrete stairs was noted as an unusual innovation. [2] [3]
