I like the balconies! They have personality and provide mroe room!
My photo today has a round building called Smith Towers and is an apartment building with beautiful views of the Columbia River BUT all the rooms are pie shaped and very small!
The round balconies look rather art deco in styling, but the shudders are rather traditional.
It looks like there is a wall down the middle of the balconies, so each apartment would have only a quarter round, which is still better than no balcony. I hope the neighbors aren't noisy or nosy.
I love this building! Hard to believe it is a train station.
Goodness gracious! Lovely photo!
To answer your question, yes, those were names we gave those places as children. There are Bambi's Meadow, Fairywing reflection pool as well as others. We were quite creative as children--and the forest was like a real-life fairytale. The forest is still there and is going to be preserved. No building allowed!
I'll bet it's nice to be on one of those balconies. I do like this one better than April 20. For some reason, it reminds me of Gaudi, but without the Art Nouveau.

Yes, there are some modern buildings in Versailles! Here's an example near Chantiers Train Station.
Modern but built with style :o)
ReplyDeleteNicely photographed.

I wasn't expecting modern in Versailles, but I guess all cities have it somewhere! I like the silver shutters.
ReplyDeleteIf I lived in a city I would definitely want a balcony. Each of these looks like it's divided, so each space isn't as large as I had at first thought.
ReplyDeleteQuite a difference from the the usual architecture we see here. Nice though.
ReplyDeleteI think it's very cool. Love the wrap-around balconies!
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of view do they have from those balconies?

I think that is one ugly building. :-) Nice photo...but not digging the architecture.

c'est marrant, cela fait penser a une rampe de parking ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, something new and different. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI like the building, those balconies are huge...
ReplyDeleteInteresting style. I like the balconies.
ReplyDeleteQuite a contrast from what we normally enjoy. That's a pretty funky balcony. I like it!
ReplyDeleteThe balconies are very cool!

ReplyDeleteNow in my mind that looks very Parsian. Audrey Hepburn style. I don't know where I am. LOL MB
ReplyDeleteFor a modern building, not bad.

How modern, Ciel - this somehow has an art deco feel to it in «Louis'» view.
ReplyDeleteCurves in all the right places! :) Creative architecture.
ReplyDeleteIndeed different from the traditional in Europe, and it even reminds us of buildings you can find in Brazil!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

It's nice, but I still prefer the old stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteEt ce sont de vrais volets!!
ReplyDeletePas comme ici!
