Difference from British Colonial Style: One is Exterior, One is Interior

An estate where the architectural language is stronger than the interior language. British colonial style focuses on the interior elements: campaign furniture, rattan chair seats, mosquito nets, and louvers. Tropical estate style focuses on the house itself: white columns, encircling double-story verandas, symmetrical facades, a central through-hallway, and a high plinth. Both often appear in the same house, but the emphasis to be drawn is different. Avoid: focusing on furniture and furnishings, ignoring the symmetry of the facade and the column rows, making the house's massing and proportions unclear, or depicting it as a typical tropical residential interior.

一棟建築語言強過室內語言的莊園。英式殖民風講的是屋子裡的東西:行軍家具、藤編椅面、蚊帳與百葉;熱帶莊園風講的是屋子本身:白色的柱列、環繞的雙層陽台、對稱的立面、中央貫穿的穿堂、高高的台基。兩者常常出現在同一棟房子上,但要畫的重點不同。避免:把重點放在家具與陳設上、忽略立面的對稱與柱列、讓房子的量體與比例交代不清、把它畫成一般的熱帶住宅室內。
