ADAPTATION
La Céleste is a specially proportioned, awe inspiring collage of French architecture using Haussmann style and other elements from various French periods. |
 |
Each Bungalow Apartment block is not treated as an independent structure, but it is made to resonate with the other buildings in its block to form a unified street scape. |
|
The stilt and first floor are made to look heavy by using different colour and texture from rest of the floors. The colours and textures selected for our building echoes traditional French architecture. |
|
The Haussmannian façade is organised around horizontal lines that often continue from one building to the next. |
|
The street-side result was a "monumental" effect that exempted buildings from a dependence on decoration. |
Being essentially European, the Fancy French grills inspired from French style were appropriate.
What makes the French buildings French is their magneficient dormers. You can find 45º tiled sloping roof with dormers through out La Céleste.
During its various periods of evolution, French architecture had steadily carried forward its basic arches which changed shape and style as time went by.
Arches with large key stones as seen in common French style of architecture was thought to be most appropriate for La Céleste.
Segmental circular arches, triangular and circular pediments and Corinthian capitals from the French renaissance period, add a touch of elegance to La Céleste. |
