The Plessis-Robinson, "Îlots du Ponant", 2025, 700 housing units

It definitely sticks out from the rest of the city,

The approach to Amer Fort is as beautiful as the fort itself

Visited Amer Fort during my Jaipur trip. The massive walls, stone pathways, and historic architecture make it easy to imagine what this place looked like centuries ago. Definitely worth exploring if you're in Rajasthan.

I’ve never noticed Slate Shingles used as siding till I saw this building in Akureyri, Iceland.

It looks great. I wonder if it holds up as well as slate roofs?
