Sounds like a faux-upscale condo development, Bridgeview. I’d lament my distaste for such housing situations (likely in part due to my sharing of an apartment with two architects), but alas, I’ll just talk about dear photography.
Austere is the word that comes to mind when I see this. It’s very sparse beyond what is permanent, and in that there’s tons of geometric patterns and repetition. Four stairs, four posts in the guardrail, four yellow beams outside each set of doors, etc…
So there’s a density of lines and shapes, but a sparseness of color. The red is very bright, there’s a pale mint in the handrail, and finally some greyish-blue in some of the shadow. Beyond that it’s just white, off-white, off-black, and some hairs of yellow.
It needs to go huge. Like 60″x40″ huge. And I don’t think mashing your dear nostrils against your monitor will achieve the same effect.
