This wonderful concoction of Art Nouveau fretwork and terracotta tiles appear on a grand Edwardian villa in a leafy tree lined street of the Melbourne suburb of Elwood. Almost enclosed by a frothy "frou-frou" of white painted wooden fretwork, the verandah looks like the perfect place for an Edwardian family to sit and take tea. It is the most perfectly intact example of fretwork on a verandah that I have ever seen in Melbourne. It is also one of the more ornate ones that I have seen. I love the circular pattern that keeps reoccuring in the fretwork, particularly the two large circles that frame the Art Nouveau front windows. Built around the turn of the Twentieth Century, the house has been built in theQueen Anne style, which was mostly a residential style inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement in England, but also encompassed some of the more stylised elements of Art Nouveau, which gave it an more decorative look. Queen Anne style was most popular around the time of Federation. With complex roofline structures and undulating facades, many Queen Anne houses fell out of fashion at the beginning of the modern era, and were demolished.

Edwardian gem in London's West End, with an elegant British brasserie, tranquil courtyard and subterranean spa Blessed with classic good looks and a stellar location in London’s glittering West End, this heritage hotel has an Edwardian façade and plenty of Old World charm. Dating from 1914, when it functioned as the Pearl Assurance HQ, many neoclassical features remain including the original carriageway entrance and tranquil cobblestone courtyard. Inside, interiors echo the Belle Epoque era with a magnificent seven storey Pavonazzo marble staircase, grand pillars, chandeliers and enough red carpet to roll out to the Kodak Theater. Upstairs, things are decidedly more modern; an extensive refurb kicked off in late 2011, transforming the guestrooms into slick bachelor pad–style digs with mod cons galore.
