Come get suited and booted at Theo's tailoring!
This is my attempt at an Art Nouveau styled building. It has been on the to do list for many years but I've lacked the quantity of usable pieces to create something believable until recently obtaining a decent number of arches and curved pieces. I've been through a ton of source material and there are some eye catching examples from Belgium/Netherlands/Latvia just to name a few. My home city has next to none and seems to skip to Art-Deco so its all been online viewing for me.
My main remit was to create a curved bay with 5 windows but not have it look too big and clunky. As for everything else, much like Art Nouveau there are organic shapes aplenty, balconies, plants for decoration and a lack of symmetry. I've tried a bunch of techniques I've not done before and copied the odd one from a previous build such as the roof. It's taken two months in all!
The interior houses a tailors which I found a befitting shop for the style of the building -c1910-1920's. There is a cutaway wall to show the staircase/tailors studio. I thought a shop with varied heights would be more interesting!
Cheers!
