I saw this the other day & had posted (many many moons ago now on the 'other' forum) some photos of Miami style buildings in the UK.This is an old petrol station that has been converted to flats...so cool!

Wow, that's awesome it definitely reminds me of Miami Vice, the changes they made towards the building when it was unloved is really amazing. Detective_Crockett.

Very nice Chloe. Various versions of Art Deco are seen all over the world. I would be interested in other similarly styled buildings in the UK. You might like this great photo collection of Art Deco and other Miami Beach buildings. Its being put together by the Miami Design Preservation League. http://www.ruskinarc.com/mdpl/ArtDecoDistrict

I know pastel colors are traditionally Miami but did you ever wonder who had the idea of painting the buildings on Miami Beach pastel colors? It helped attract Vice to SoBe. As the article says, "South Beach became a backdrop for photo shoots and TV shows like “Miami Vice.†Of course you see Friedman's Bakery as the Dynamo Nightclub in Dutch Oven. Apparently it was the first Art Deco styled building to have pastel paint. Check out this link.http://m.wlrn.org/?utm_referrer=#mobile/18005
