Out of Words 07: La Fayette Apartment

IN SHANGHAI, in spite of big development (demoshing and building) happening everywhere, there are still a lot of remnants of colonial European styled architecture you can appreciate.This apartment for example nestled along Fuxing Road formerly called Rue Lafayette which was part of the French Concession in the early 1900. Interestingly, people still dwells in this place and rent is more expensive than living in a new apartment.
Personally, I like the evenly distribution of shade of yellow paint and red bricks in the structure.

I like the old red bricks, it can be used either for exterior and interior.
