While taking a Water Taxi ( http://www.chicagowatertaxi.com )on the Chicago River our last stop was in front of a very inviting Pagoda pavilion! My friend and I got off at the Ping Tom Memorial Park in Chinatown Chicago. ( http://www.chicagochinatown.org ) I was instantly drawn to the style of the pavilion and the surroundings. There were children playing, a teacher and student practicing Martial Arts and folks relaxing on the greens. Following the small crowd for a short walk we were suddenly in the midst of dragons, pagodas, and Chinese gifts stores!
This was an amazing place to visit. You get the "feel" of actually being in China! Design inspiration is around every corner! I love the elegant, yet simple and functional design. I also enjoyed seeing the bright beautiful colors that adorn every building and sign.
What elements or design concepts could you use in your home?
Good Day!
