I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

    I love cities with hidden courtyards. I know Spanish colonial has a lot of this, but Paris (not sure the style) does too. I’m not saying it’s the direction we should move in regarding efficiency nor climate proofing, but it’s really nice to get a little semi-private outdoor space (they are often shared between several houses) and have windows that open up to it. It also creates a feeling of mystery, like you really need to get to know a city before it will open it’s doors to you.

      They are very nice but they can have their downsides especially if you’re trying to sleep and there are some loud people in the courtyard. Being very hungover and waking up to some one blasting mambo number 5 can sort of dampen the whole mystical side of the courtyard
