les tuiles céladones

missing my building with the celadon skin on rue des Solitaires, I find another off the rue de Belleville...
another céladonique moment, so to speak... but covered in a web of tiny sea-green tiles that also brings back my need for the sea...
the simple pseudo-modernist design with the plain metal tubing railings is nevertheless enlivened by a pair of ornamental flourishes bracketing the entrance canopy...and the mysterious giant silver spider still guarding the balcony above...

Ah, I know this one too! Strangely it seems to be a house that is part of a garage. I never thought about it before I started my blog, but now I know that there is enough material for a book about the garages/car parks of Paris!
