I've been walking around this building in Downtown Seattle, WA, and paying attention to the plaza design, which I like so much. It has an eclectic solution, with the contemporary deconstructed steel statues against the classical masonry facade and the ceramic plants pots with a traditional design.
The seats are Minimalist, in iron and wood, the pure lines following the floor lines, in a game of orthogonality.
The lines of the building facades are somehow reflected on the floor geometry.
And all this hardscape is perforated with trees, and eventually some planters. The green is the only strong color here. All textures are contrasting in their variety, while the colors are matching.
The day was cold and rainy but in any other occasion I would have taken a rest to enjoy the plaza.
