"The technical term for those shiny metal decorative thingies is doodads, ganja. If you look closely you'll see what we earthlings call pippypoos ( from the Latin pippy - useless, and poo - shit ) embossed on them, with a suggestion of swagged drapery above that echoes the window treatments, and vertical panelling that suggests an art deco take on classical columns. There are curved, embossed doodads at the base of the bay windows that also vaguely suggests art deco, the precast is designed to suggest stonework, the balconies follow a vaguely historicist approach and everything is intended to scream "good taste for rich people"."
Me-think you protest too much. Obviously you're totally, transparently captivated, just stop fighting it -its ok. BTW, I think the metal items might be lighting of some sort?
