This Art Deco apartment block is on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco. They have typical stylised floral decoration on the canopy above the entrance and in a vertical panel at the top of the facade breaking through the roofline. The bay windows provide an interesting angular dimension.

I find the asymmetry of the design a bit weird. You either make it symmetrical or you don't. I think if it's almost symmetrical it just looks like a mistake.
ReplyDeleteAs a guess, it could be that the buildings on the right hand side of the building are larger because they have bay views and therefore would be more expensive.
ReplyDeleteI really like this building, despite the asymmetry, I do know what you mean though Trevor, the eye is drawn to that pesky window!
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to know the history of that window.
