The next stop in the Netherlands takes us to Amsterdam. Here are a few of the building facades that Lauren found inspiring...
Notice the Dutch gable and all it's adornment. The purest example would have a scalloped/curved eaves that lead up to a pediment.
Renaissance inspired, the large windows above the doors are much more florid in decoration and detailing than a typical transom window.
Here is a minimalist approach to dutch architecture.
Shutters at their best!
Thanks Lauren and Hailey for the great images! More to come from Amsterdam....
