I don't know what to make of this one, but it seems more western than anything else, but then you look at the bottom right picture and know right away where you are.
The roofline on this one is certainly Chinese, but the rest of the place looks like something down the street from me.
Some of the other places seem to marry elements of English, Dutch, and German with Chinese influences.
Edit:
This place adds in a bit more of the traditional style. In parts it looks like a modern western first floor with a reimagined traditional second floor.
Thank you so much! These pictures really help with my inspiration.
The Cathay View stuff - wow. That looks really expensive to build, and I'm sure the neighborhood is soul-sucking and gross, but the buildings are pretty.
