In yesterday's post we looked at windows as inspiring architectural features. Let's continue the thread today with a brief weekend post that looks at the doors of the art studios and spaces located under the arches of the Brighton promenade.
Doors can be very symbolical as they represent a passage from one space into another, and they may lead into a space or deny entrance to it. Main doors are particularly important as, depending from when they were designed, they can even help us dating a building with their decorative patterns or ornamental motifs.
The doors included in this post can be deemed as inspiring for different reasons: in the first example in this post, the door is characterised by a set of colours arranged in the style of Mondrian. The Mondrian grid effect is emphasised by the metal structure that secures and reinforces the door.
The colour combination - pale blue and white - arranged in a neat set of stripes characterising the arch and the door in the second example belongs instead to a stereotypical nautical style.
The third example of doors can be deemed interesting because, under the same arch, there is a division of spaces with two different doors - one neatly decorated in vivid shades of tomato red and violet, the other in plain wood.
The fourth and last example provides with instant visual gratification as the bright orange, pale blue, yellow and white scheme of colours evokes the seaside, and offers the passer-by a sense of invigorating energy. Have a lovely weekend and keep your eyes open in search of interesting and inspiring doors.
