Inter-War, or Art Deco, is one of the earliest local architectural styles that uses form to express itself. 

It celebrates architecture using combinations of simple building techniques, relying less on labour and more on proportion, light and effortlessness. I think this style embraces a joie de vivre, crying out for less clutter and less order; 

Doing away with the corset as one would imagine. You’ll find curved walls, corner windows and combinations of symmetrical and asymmetrical facades in this style, as if insisting that rules no longer apply.
