Elements of a Facade



Day Architectural Ltd of Kirkby Lonsdale http://day-architectural.com/ commissioned this 1 : 50 scale model to demonstrate the elements and relief of a proposed facade.  This is part of a large student accommodation block to be built in Liverpool adjacent to Lime Street Station. The model was constructed from panels of 4mm deep polystyrene sheet.

Nederland Style

Nederland is always visually interesting, whether public art or everyday steet scenes.  These images are from Scheveningen, Den Haag and Leiden.

Strelitzia

 On the hillside below Lincoln Castle, I came across this new house "Strelitzia" which appears to be almost ready for occupation. Built on the site of a former tennis court, this house has panoramic views over the "downhill" area of Lincoln and beyond. This was designed by LK2 Consultants of Lincoln and must be inspired by the petals of the bird of paradise plant or strelitzia.
