Reaching its “heyday” in the early 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco architecture is a modern take on neoclassical, one that is equally historic, retro and fabulous. Making its first debut in Paris in 1925, today, the style is marked by its characteristic bright colors, from pastel blues and pinks, to bright oranges, vibrant yellows, greens and more.

Buildings in the typical Art Deco style feature exotic flora and fauna motifs inside, along with prominent structural gems, like geometric fountains or statues. Whimsical pastel buildings are embellished with glamorous features, from porthole windows and shiny curves, to glass blocks, chrome accents and terrazzo floors.
