As you can see this a simple clean stylish deco shopfront. It has a nice use of contrasting tiles and very simple design elements such as the two horizontal bands of cream tiles to the right of the doorway.What I find interesting is that the rest of the building is older at least by a decade or three.
Commercial pressures probably lead to the redesign of the building at street level and here again in April 2011 when I took this picture the commercial forces are looking for a new owner for this fine building.
Strange combination of top and bottom, actually :) But the wooden pieces above and below the top balcony tie the two halves together.
ReplyDeleteSo times change and tastes change, but nothing will make me like the Hyundi place next door.
A strange combination indeed Helen. I suspect the old shopfront was updated quite a while after the original building was completed.
