Palais Royale looking north from center

Submitted by rblood38 on Sun, 02/11/2007 - 5:57pm. Tags for this image:
Corner of a portion of the first large scale mixed use speculative development in Paris created by the Duke of Orleans and opened in 1784. Designed by Victor Louis between 1781-84, it originally contained sixty identical residential units above a continuous arcade and shops designed to serve "a quotidian carnival of appetites." Unfortunately, the composition breaks street and access continuity on an east-west basis making the tranquil square difficult to access as well as cut off from the surrounding neighborhoods.

Egerton Crescent

Submitted by rblood38 on Sat, 02/03/2007 - 6:51pm. Tags for this image:
Egerton Crescent was created in the mid 1840s by James Bonnin, Sr. who earlier had built the nearby Pelham Crescent. The Crescent is noteworty for a variety of reaons including masterful architectural differentation and a very pleasant size. Crescents allow the creation of significant frontage for houses without the loss of a large number of buildable lots. The Crescent is 475 feet long when measured face to face of building and 220 feet wide. The middle closure ratio is 1:4.5. Unlike Pelham Crescent, there is no street break at the apex. the overall rhythm is DAAAABAAAABCCBAAAABAAAAD. Great attention was focused on the detailing of the entry porches and their differentation. Balconies are continuous for three or four units and then break for emphasis. Window treatments are carefully modified at each level. My favorite Belgrave square.
