On the first floor of the whole building, the outside walls are white, the walls look a little black, and the large wall tiles protruding one after another make the base of the whole building look so strong and stable.

The walls on the second floor are brick red, some yellowish, only around the windows and outside the balcony are the same white as the first floor wall, and the small balcony on the entrance of the second floor is the kind of semi-circular, which looks very romantic.

The roof of the three houses looks closer to a semicircle, giving the whole building a playful feel, round and lovely.

"It would be even more lovely if the top of the window was also semicircular." Lin Xiaoxiao tilted his head and said, I wonder if all the rectangular window frames can be changed to semi-circular without destroying the overall building? Or add a semicircular awning to the window?

"Go back and ask the designers and the construction team, I think it should be possible." Zhang Guangqi also agreed with Lin Xiaoxiao's opinion, because several eaves of the roof are close to semicircular, if the top of the window is also changed to the same type, this building will be more eye-catching.

The three of them discussed as they walked, and wrote down the good ideas they thought of in the notebook in their hands, ready to go back and discuss them with the designer.

The interior division of this house has been seriously damaged, but fortunately the main walls have not been moved, fortunately this house is mainly used for display, the upper second and third floors are not badly damaged, and the first floor only needs to be renovated.

"The first floor is used as the main exhibition hall? The second and third floors are free exhibition halls? After watching the circle, the three of them got together and discussed.

"There's a basement down there, what's the best use for it?" It's not a common home use, so you don't need to use the basement as a storage room, right? Gu Chengyun twisted his beard.

"Is it okay to design like this? On the first floor, some ordinary paintings are displayed, the second floor is a display of classic paintings, and the third floor is arranged as a place where you can rest. Lin Xiaoxiao thought about it, pointed to the map and analyzed, "The stairs leading to the basement of this house are very spacious, and you can go down directly from the door, so if you put a sign, people can see it at a glance." Unlike some basement entrances, it's scary to look at.

"At first, we couldn't expect to charge a fee for this art gallery, because it was not famous, and the price of rent was not easy to set, so it was better to have an empty basement than to leave the first floor empty, and even if the first floor was used for other purposes at first, visitors who would often come to the exhibition hall when it was converted to a fee-based exhibition hall in the future would feel uncomfortable.

"There are also some advantages to holding the exhibition in the basement, such as you can completely use the light to show the desired effect, and the color of the light can also change with the different paintings, we can initially put some of our own works in the first and second floors, and the calligraphers and painters in N City can also put one or two works in every month if they want to.

"Of course, the works that come in at the beginning are free of charge, but then we can pay the painters according to the situation – on the premise that we make our own profits. Even if they didn't want to participate in it at first, I think it would be enough to have the masters' works here. ”

The two nodded frequently, Zhang Guangqi is a high-frequency calligrapher, and there are a lot of works that have been exhibited and not exhibited at home, Gu Chengyun is not as high-frequency as Zhang Guangqi, but he has been painting for most of his life, and he is not interested in selling paintings, and there are a lot of works at home that others have never even seen. In addition, some of the works of Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong that he had collected when he was young can also be displayed at this time.

The three of them walked and talked, and when the whole house was finished, Lin Xiaoxiao's notebook in his hand had already recorded a lot of things going in.

After locking the door of the house, the three of them went straight to another small building not far away. The two small buildings are separated by less than half of the garden, faintly you can see through the layers of begonia trees in the garden, it is late autumn, and there are no leaves left on the trees, so you can see relatively clearly, but in the middle of summer, these dense trees will completely isolate the realization on both sides.

Today is Wednesday, except for the elementary school students who leave school early, and those who are at home to take care of the primary school students who have not yet gone to school, there is no one else in the park, the first two years in the street park introduced some entertainment facilities, although not as much as in the big park, but at least there is a bumper car and something like that can let the children sit, fortunately, these entertainment facilities are far away from the two houses, in the west of the park, will not affect the environment of the two houses.

When I came to this last small building, I stood outside the courtyard and looked at the outer edge of the house with red and red, as well as the dry creeper vines climbing on the wall, which made people feel so mysterious and dreamy.

There are also several basement windows on the bottom wall, and although there is only a small one, it still takes care of the ventilation of the basement.

There is a row of stairs leading to the main entrance, each window is surrounded by a white brick wall, and under the first floor of the window there is a row of brick balustrades, below the balustrade and above the top edge of the basement are made of brick-red bricks. In addition to the two European-style balconies in the front direction of the second floor, the small balconies outside the side windows on the left and right are all protruding semicircles, coupled with the role of creepers, how to look like a dream windowsill in a fairy tale - the kind that the prince can climb up (囧).

The third floor was not as large as the two floors below, and the space above the balcony of the second house was removed, but even so, on the third floor there was half of the balconies in the open air, surrounded by a relatively low balustrade, and the other half of the space was occupied by a playful penthouse with round windows, somewhat like the top of a European tower. Some of the creepers who had climbed to the highest point climbed up the red and white walls.

"How do you paint this house if you want to paint it on the outside? The brown walls are all uneven. Zhang Guangqi pointed to the wall and asked casually.

"I'd better wait two days and ask the designer." Gu Chengyun didn't study architectural decoration, so naturally it was impossible to know.

"You don't need to brush it, that's fine, just take care of the dust." Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, pushed open the door and walked in.

Zhang Guangqi followed behind her and asked in surprise, "Why don't you brush it?" Isn't it newer to brush it up? ”

"It doesn't matter, if you brush the slurry, it will destroy the layer of creepers outside, as long as you clean up the ash on the outside wall at that time, don't damage those creepers, now it's more charming, and repainting it doesn't look like it's for people to live in, but like you want to open a store or something." Lin Xiaoxiao shook his head and walked in.

This house is not the best at all, and maintains a unified style and charm with the surrounding houses. After brushing, it will be too public, so that people who come and go will subconsciously explore sideways, and secondly, it will destroy the mystery of the original combination of this house and the creeper.

And the reason why the first two houses have to be painted, one is because the first one is for Lin's father and Lin's mother to live, and it is comfortable for them to live in if they are completely repainted, and the second one is to do business, and it is not good to say if they don't repaint it; Second, it is also because the overall appearance of the two houses is mainly white, supplemented by red, and the effect after repainting will be very eye-catching.

But now this house is mainly brown, as long as a small amount of red and a very small part of white, it makes no sense to repaint it. And its main color "brown" because of the use of the rough and rough treatment method, so many years have passed, but there is almost no decolorization, as long as you clean up some dust, you don't need to color again.

In the courtyard, the planks that had been laid on the top of the sink had been taken away by several families who lived here after they had moved out - these days, even those who were not too wealthy were reluctant to discard such things, and they were all counting on them to build a roof and a small cupboard.

After a brief observation, the pool in this courtyard is not equipped with a fountain like the previous house, the long and graceful pool plus the rockery in the corner of the wall, and the wall is thicker than the surrounding buildings.

Even, the owner here is himself a Chinese.

The bottom of the pool is covered with pebbles, but after all these years, it has long been covered with a thick layer of dust, and it will never be usable without cleaning.

The pool was cut into two sections in front of the main entrance, and a passage was paved with bricks and other things, and the original small bridge was no longer known where it was thrown, but this is not difficult for the current people, just find a designer and the construction team to make another one and put it on it.

The pond is not large, but there is a small pond on the left side of the courtyard, and then a thin river sticks out from the left and right, and it is half-surrounded in the front room, and it is believed that after the water is filled, you can raise some goldfish and carp in it. As long as Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't have a bad hand, it's okay to raise something and die.

The rockery is now just crooked on the edge of the pool, and the position is just pushed to the wall and then crooked there, and then it can be set up again.

The front of the yard was now all bare dirt, and there was nothing but a few cobblestone paths, not even half a tree. However, Lin Xiaoxiao and they walked along the side to the back of the house, only to find that in addition to the creeper, there were a few bamboo poles in the back.
