Discussion | Hotel Guimard Commentary
"At first view one is struck by the architect's care in designing and positioning his windows and balconies. Defying rhyme and reason, they are each of a different cut, each placed where one would least expect it:...the window on the third story, a quarter of which is situated on the precise corner of the building and which appears to be haughtily indifferent to the classically arranged bay on the story below. Of particular note in this regard is the long fourth-story balcony surmounted by two lanterns of the type frequently used by Guimard." Maurice Rheims. Hector Guimard. p140. Details Address: 122 Ave. Mozart, Paris, France | ||||
