Latin Accents
Why is it that we find someone with a foreign accent somehow a little more interesting? Would Antonio Banderas be as sexy without his Spanish accent? Is Sophia Loren possibly more beautiful because of her Italian accent?
You’re probably asking yourself, “Why are we talking about foreign accents?”
The answer is simple; the same applies to architectural details. What looks better around a pool at a resort, cement or Mexican cantera? What’s more beautiful, a pre-cast concrete column or one carved from Italian limestone? What looks better on the outside of a modern commercial building, stucco or Spanish limestone cladding?
If you’re an architect, designer, or developer, you know there are only so many ways to arrange boxes and cylinders. It’s the details that set your design apart. Many think natural stone details are too expensive. But can you afford to skimp on what people will admire most?
