Paragon building

Description

Colors were intentionally chosen to support the classical magnificence of the Paragon building. The basement level was painted in ash with concave lines to make it looks like being made of the antique stones – which suggests a strong sense of firmness and solidity. The higher part was entirely painted in the milk white color, again with concave line patterns, to resemble the majestic white marble - which usually appears in the luxury constructions of the antique elites (e.g., the Taj Mahal Palace).
