If asked for a clear cut answer on which style of architecture I prefer, I would say I predominantly tend towards modernism and/or minimalism. When it comes to architecture, I like clean, sleek lines, glossy surfaces, and bold, graphic punches of colour… most of the time.

Give me organic, flowing curves, gold gilded surfaces, chandeliers dripping with crystals, and ice creamy shades of pink, mint and robin’s egg blue.
