Description
I was somewhat unsure of what to look for to identify a building as post-modernist in Raleigh, but I drove past this Extra-Space storage building and thought it had some characteristics that may place it into that category.
First, its shape gives it a modern feel. The main part of the building is a block jutting out from the rest, and the windows, cut outs, and panels in the building are also reasons I identified it as potentially post-modern.
The color-blocking and pops of color also contribute to the non-traditional design. The building is various shades of grey, changing with the design/movement of the building. The pops of green on the doors on the side of the building and in the branding also add interest.
