is it portuguese? i can't really tell if it is refined or not. some of siza's proyectos are over-refined in my opinion.

Yeah,

I walked past this in March - pretty stunning - forgot my camera though... The brick wall on the right of the picture marks the boundary of the Melbourne Club:

"The Melbourne Club is called by many the headquarters of the Melbourne Establishment with members wielding a powerful influence in Melbourne and Australian life. Since its establishment in 1839 it has become widely regarded as the unofficial power centre of Melbourne"

Just around the corner is one of my favourite drinking establishments - Meyers Place

There's alot of archs out there with variations on lead weights in their names. I sifted through a few but i got dyslexic about the lead numbering system because its been an age since i put pencil to vellum.
