Describing a building!

My character has just walked outside this building. [green one] In 1-3 sentences, what are some words/descriptions that spring to your mind about it?

You just walked up to it. What is your initial 2 line mind explosion of description about it?

 

lush green bushes, and european architecture. Typical high class college

 

Grandiose, in every sense of the word.

Covered in exquisite glass fittings.

A steep roof the colour of the forestation that surrounds it.

Maybe ask yourself: What do you see? What are some of the images, similes that pop into your head. Relax and don't over think it, just observe. What comes to mind?

 

The word that springs to my mind is "majestic."

 

mansard-roofed
hodge-podge of architectural features
'hooded' if wanting fanciful imagery

 

Fairytale castle comes to mind.

 

That is a useful tool!

 

fancy huge gigantic wow!
