This is a door to my favourite building in Kruununhaka, Helsinki. It was built in 1933. In my eye, the style represents art deco very clearly. This is not an ornamental door at all but there is something about the simplicity that pleases my eye. This is the building with gorgeous balconies.

It’s a happy door, I can see why you like it. The transom and numbers are very pleasing to the eye, and unusual these days.

We have very few art deco building left here in Montreal and most of the few that are left are not well maintained 😦
This one is very nice.

It’s sad when buildings are left to run down.. We have this whole area of old villas in Helsinki where all the houses are in ruins. It would be a beautiful area, near the sea too.

Lovely! I agree about the Art Deco styling … there is something classically elegant about its simplicity.
