Chapter 953 New Home
"Father, it's best if you can adapt. Originally, I was worried that you would be uncomfortable during this long journey."
Taking a train for a long time is indeed a kind of torture. , just like the few little ones behind Ernst, they all looked listless, so did Ernst and Karina. After all, the Ernsts lived in the first town all year round and never went out, so they were very uncomfortable.
Constantin smiled and said to his son: "Don't stay in the palace all the time. Just go out and walk more. You see, I am already this age. Why is my health good? It is because of years of exercise and exercise." Traveling.”
Since entering his old age, Constantine has been traveling around the country in East Africa. Of course, for the sake of the king’s health, Constantine usually travels along the railway, so he often takes it. In the case of trains, this time from the first town to the Rhine City was no difficulty for Constantine.
"Okay, father, let's go take a look at our new home now! We are new here and we have a lot of tasks to do," Ernst said.
In these three days, many government affairs have not been dealt with, and he has to be busy moving, so Ernst's first priority is to complete the work at hand.
Constantin said: "I have already been to the Rhine Palace. The environment is very good, and the architecture and garden design are also very novel. It is much larger than the Swet Palace. At least it is in line with a world-class royal family like ours in East Africa. "
He is quite satisfied with the construction of the Rhine Palace, especially compared with the "sloppy" Svet Palace. In Constantine's opinion, the living experience of the Svet Palace is different from that of his original residence. There is no difference between the Hohenzollern Castle. Those who don’t know better would think that East Africa is a small palace like the former Prince of Hechingen!
Ernst was also full of curiosity about the Rhine Palace. Although he had seen the drawings long ago, the specific effect could only be felt more intuitively after an on-site inspection.
Soon, Ernst and his party took a car in the direction of the Rhine Palace. The Rhine Palace is in the northeast corner of the Rhine City, and the train station is in the northwest of the Rhine City. So along the road, you can see the northern part of the Rhine City. construction status.
And this also aroused the interest of a few little guys. They were full of curiosity about Rhine City. Of course, they were just curious. After all, the contrast between the prosperity of Rhine City and Dar es Salaam was still somewhat gap.
Soon, Ernst and his party finally arrived at the Rhine Palace, and what they saw was a large number of man-made gardens.
Ernst was quite satisfied with the garden design of the Rhine Palace. The original use of Eastern and Western designs did not make Ernst completely at ease, and he was afraid of making it nondescript. However, when he really saw the Rhine Palace After seeing the palace garden scene, Ernst could let go of his hanging heart.
The garden design outside the Rhine Palace is mainly grassland and gardens, with a certain amount of woodland. The planning is patchwork, with bluestone slabs and gravel islands extending along the asphalt road to make full use of the "water source" Create various fountains, pools and artificial streams.
The fountain is obviously different from Europe. Instead, it uses rockeries and rocks from the Far Eastern Empire to create a natural and harmonious "mountain and flowing water" scene.
The Rhine Palace garden design also has distinct tropical characteristics. For example, many tropical plants can be seen everywhere here, creating a unique artistic conception.
So the Rhine Palace gardens have had three different styles in the past century: Europe, the Far East, and the tropics. With the full cooperation of designers, the three styles are mixed together, which does not appear obtrusive, but gives people a sense of style. A special feeling of freshness and refinement.
Ernst was also very interested in "pavilion" buildings. In Ernst's impression, "pavilion" buildings were indispensable in the gardens of the Far Eastern Empire.
The Rhine Palace Garden also adopts this architectural form, with a Western-style outdoor promenade, vines and various plants, naturally integrating into the garden terrain.
Anyway, Ernst was very satisfied with the design of the Rhine Palace, which was in line with his own aesthetics. Of course, Ernst asked his family for their opinions: "What do you think of the gardens of the Rhine Palace?" "Anyway, I am quite satisfied, although It is not as regular as traditional European gardens, but it is orderly and well-proportioned in the chaos, so it will not cause aesthetic fatigue,” Constantine said frankly.
And a few little guys also said: "Dad, it is very beautiful here."
These children have a more real attitude towards beautiful things, and they are beautiful. If it looks good and passes the level of children, it means that there is no problem with the garden design of the Rhine Palace.
Ernst said to Karina: "My dear, what do you think?"
Karina nodded and said: "I think the gardens in Vienna are different from each other! Although I prefer European gardens, the construction of the Rhine Palace garden is also eye-catching, and it also integrates the characteristics of European gardens. It can be regarded as a collection of hundreds of schools of thought. "Grown up."
Karina's artistic vision is the highest in the family. After all, Karina was born in the Austrian court and received formal education since she was a child.
Unlike Ernst and Constantine, Constantine used to be a warrior in the Junker aristocracy and was naturally insensitive to art. Ernst was even less likely to inherit any art from his father. cell.
So Ernst was quite happy with Karina's affirmation. He said to Karina: "In order to build the Rhine Palace garden, I specially borrowed people from the royal family of the Far East Empire. The most powerful thing about their palace garden designers is that they can design the gardens with a low-key luxury and cultural connotation, while European garden designers are more flamboyant. The combination of the two creates a unique chemical reaction. With the charm of the Rhine Palace gardens now.”
Of course, Ernst didn’t think so before seeing the actual effect. He was originally afraid that the two would not be effectively combined and would result in something nondescript. thing.
This is not Ernst's worry, but his experience in his previous life. As a civil engineer in his previous life, Ernst had seen many antique buildings in China. He can only describe them as disgusting, especially ancient towers and palaces that were antique or restored. , has no ancient charm at all, and is full of a sense of construction garbage of the 21st century.
This is why Ernst only asked Far Eastern designers to only participate in the Rhine Palace garden design, while the main building of the Rhine Palace was completely completed by local and European designs.
Ernst was afraid of creating something nondescript, and compared to architecture, garden design is simpler. After all, gardens mainly use vegetation as the background, so no matter what you do, it will not cause drama, and even if there are Problem, it’s easy to dismantle and rebuild.
After browsing the gardens, the final destination is the Rhine Palace. The Rhine Palace uses a combination of classical and modernism, which is absolutely unique among palace buildings around the world.
Because it adopts the modern industrial style, according to Ernst’s feeling, the architectural design of the Rhine Palace will not be outdated in the 21st century. Of course, another reason for adopting the modernist style is naturally to add more space Installed with various modern furniture and convenient circuit design.
Therefore, the Rhine Palace is destined to be the most modern among palaces in various countries, with the strongest living experience. It is also relatively practical and easy to maintain in the future. For example, most of the windows of the Rhine Palace use transparent windows, not the European ones. Stained glass with high cost and complicated craftsmanship.
Of course, the glass of the Rhine Palace looks ordinary, but in fact it has been specially treated and made stronger by adding glue. Of course, when the technology matures, it will definitely be replaced with stronger bulletproof glass.
