Architecture is...

Architecture is basically a container of something.

I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea.

Enjoy the creative lines and shapes.It's an eye catching landmark in Coco Beach, FL. You'll not miss it. 

I'll bring later some pictures more from here, and also from the fantastic and fun inside, where all the surfers go to buy their sport tools. Next time, go inside and have a look!

The Spanish Colonial Revival Style

The Spanish Colonial Revival Style 

was a United States architectural stylistic movement that came about in the early 20th century, starting in California and Florida as a regional expression related to history, environment, and nostalgia. The Spanish Colonial Revival Style was also influenced by the opening of the Panama Canal and the overwhelming success of the novel Ramona set in Alta California. Based on the Spanish Colonial architecture from the Spanish colonization of the Americas, the Spanish Colonial Revival style updated these forms and detailing for a new century and culture.

The Panama-California Exposition of 1915 in San Diego, with lead architect Bertram Goodhue, is credited with creating national attention for the aesthetic popularity of this style.

The Spanish Colonial Revival movement enjoyed its greatest popularity between 1915 and 1931 and was most often exhibited in single-level detached houses and small commercial buildings.

The rules of architecture...

The rules of navigation never navigated a ship. The rules of architecture never built a house.

A pretty architectural detail

Modern architectural detail, captured in down town Melbourne, FL

Hi my friends,

it's always a big joy to see your visits and comments every day, or almost every day. Thank you so much, I do appreciate every single one.

This picture is from our last stroll in down town in Melbourne FL. 

It caught  my eyes because of the strong vivid colors, you can not miss it out. 

It's the facade of a very arty looking tiled house in the heart of down town.

Stay tuned with me, come back again and leave a comment, if you like my stuff.

Have a wonderful day!

Susanne

My NEW CALENDARS 2010 are ready to buy here

Interesting Architecture of Key West

The story of the "Two Sisters Houses" is interesting, because they were built by the father of two sisters who didn't like each other much. Today, the houses are priced in the Millions of Dollars.


The "Artist House" on Eaton Street, built between 1890-98 was formerly the home of Painter Robert Eugene Otto and his wife, Anne, a concert and jazz pianist.

I call it "The Yellow House". It is not really a famous house, just a nice and colorful one with a lovely, lush garden.



The "Boca Casa" shows the typical gingerbread architecture of Key West houses.

The "Southernmost House" is located near the Southernmost Point on the Atlantic side of Duval Street.

Simply White

White door and white fence at Trumann Annex - a clean and nice look. The palmtree at the door (and in the yard of course) gives a tropical touch.

Die vorherrschende Farbe hier ist "Weiss", was wiederum einen Eindruck von Sauberkeit und Geschmack wiederspiegelt. Den suedlich-tropischen "Touch" gibt die kleine Palme an der Haustuere, quasi das "Tuepchen auf dem i". Wie mag es wohl drinnen aussehen?
