The color of the lime paint is much warmer than the flat cool grey painted walls before.

At the upper part of the chimney mantelpiece we hung a group of antlers.

To obtain a more straight and clean look, I have chosen for a fixed upholstered large sofa.

The orangery is much warmer, lighter, much airier and more peaceful than before. Aren’t you agree?

Contemporary University Design: Ravensbourne College Building in London

Here is a campus building project located in London. The project was completed by the Office of foreign architects, in order to meet the demands of development era to -21 century for learners.  Here is more from the project developers: “The architecture of the building has been designed to express the culture of contemporary production, by using a non-periodic tiling system which symbolises a more diverse and contemporary approach to technology. Gothic rose windows and flower patterns have also been a rich field of inspiration for the project, but in this building they will not be produced as an imitation of nature but as an abstract construction. To achieve this we have resorted to the use of a non-periodic tiling pattern on the façade, which allowed us to build seven different types of windows out of only three different tiles.” home-4us readers, what is your choice-  traditional or contemporary university building designs?
