Edwardian architecture - Edwardian style

Edwardian architecture refers to the architectural style that was prevalent during the reign of King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, from 1901 to 1910. It represents a transition between the elaborate, ornate designs of the Victorian era and the more simplified forms of the later 20th century. Edwardian buildings are known for their use of red brick and terracotta detailing, often featuring bay windows, ornamental gables, and decorative moldings. This style emphasizes a sense of symmetry and balance, and it is characterized by its elegant and refined aesthetic. Edwardian architecture is commonly associated with residential buildings and is a prominent feature of many British towns and cities.
