The building is symetrical around a central tower with a short stepped element at the roofline. The rest of the block with is set back from the tower also has a shallow step which is emphasised by the white line painted near the top of the facade against the blue-grey of the rest of the building.
The corners and structural elements of the tower are painted white providing a simple pattern.
At ground level, there is a simple communal entrance with the name, Windsor inscribed on the wall above it.
The upper floor flats at the front of the building have open balconies with a curved shelter supported by a thick round column again painted white.
The white theme is continued in the garden with the raised border of the path leading to the front door.

This is a very nice building, but the more I think about it, the more I think that these Art-Deco buildings only work in hot, dry locations. This one looks superb against the blue sky, with a palm tree stood in front of it.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right that there is a certain style of building that fits a hot, dry climate but I would like to think that this is a result of the architect designing structures for the lifestyle of the owners and residents in the case of these residential properties.
