International Design

Egyptian
I really like this Eqyptian design. I think that it looks really nice . i really enjoy the drawings inscribed on the bottom of the flower holder. One thing that really makes this place stand out are the colors. I really like this style and i wish we would have that style here in the US because it is very neat.
Mexican
This is an Example of Mexican design. I think that Mexican design is very different that our design we have in the US. I really enjoy this type of design because of the bright colors, also the tiles on the walls are there to help keep the houses fresh and cold during the summer since there is no air conditioning in Mexico. I think that the tiles serve as a double purpose they are used to keep that house cold and also give the a nice touch. One thing that i really admire about this type of design is that most of the time it has some kind of history behind it.
Japanese
This is a Modern Japanese home. They create their style very different from ours instead of having big thick insulates walls they have thin walls because of their mild climate, along with curved overlapping curves because of the early rainy summers. A big part of Japanese construction is Timber because it allows air in during the long humid summers , one bad thing about this design is that they can easily be destroyed through earthquakes and fires. I think that this is a great design even though that the materials are very thin and doesn't have much insulation as the houses here, i think i really do like about these houses is that they are Eco-friendly meaning they don't cause much pollution due to materials.
