I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

    The city I’m in has a ton of art deco buildings, I didn’t even realize until I was an adult that it wasn’t normal.

    I would want art deco everywhere, it’s probably nostalgia talking, but I think it’s hella classy.

    Tudor-style wattle and daub, timber framed houses with thatched roofs.

    It’s relatively environmentally friendly and sequesters a lot of carbon, and is well insulated. Willow coppices can be grown just about anywhere too.

    Roman revival… most anything with arches, pillars, ashlar, obvious lentils, a strong sturdy feel.

    But also high tech / structural expressionism.

    Frutiger Aero. This is what the future should have looked like. It’s a beautiful balance between nature and technology. I love the glossy, transpartent, rounded nature of it all. The colors are bright and fresh but relaxing at the same time.

    I’m also a big fan of mid century modern. It does a good job at incorporating a natural look. On the outside, the buildings are usually low profile and blend into the landscape well. On the inside, there’s a lot of nice, quality natural materials like wood and stone that are used throughout.
