For a split second Frank Lloyd Wright came to mind. I think it was the brick work and long overhang. Again, great tile work and I've seen those sun shades on a number of buildings that you've posted, are they are standard features and expected to be there? They are a great feature to have to keep the inside cool in the summer. Am I correct in assuming that air conditioners are not common in the older buildings?
love the perspective; makes the building even more imposing. Is the decorative work mosaics, a painting or tiles? I enlarged the photo but still couldn't tell. I'd love to rattle around in a place like that on occasion!
Is somebody live there. Wow. We always wonder what people can do in big houses like this. If all families live there we understand, but if just one family..well...how do they use all this rooms. Nice photo anyway.
Look at those colours, how harmonious they are and beautiful shapes and decorations. Why modern buildings are so simply, at least here, as if workers could be in terrible hurry - perhaps they are - time is money!! What kind is your some modern house in Torino?
2 Jules: you're in right and actually it's well hidden
2 Kate: Tiles. The today post it's expressly for you
2 karola&pamp: sure some family lives there and no it's not a unique-family house.
2 Leena: modern house are mostly 6 / 9 floors, grey and without any character buildings... It's sad but it's true. Fortunately the center of the city (with this kind of houses) it's quite wide :-)
yes Beetle and Ming you both are in right. Owners maybe live a sort of fairy tale or feel it like a monastry -- Thank you to everyone about your comments and yes
Torino was the first Capital of Italy, the city that hosted XX Olympic and IX Paralympic Winter Games and Torino Daily Photo is the first photo blog of the city --- I am sorry but due the spam comments, anonymous users are not allowed...

This is a house? WOW,the owner must be live in fairy tale world...
ReplyDeleteActually, it looks like an old monastry, where the monks live. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI wish they haven't covered up the windows with those ugly blinds.
