Curved Walls Advantages - They are a very interesting architectural tool.
Disadvantages - High cost to build
- High cost of 'made to measure' furniture (round wardrobes and units are not readily available!)
The Octogon: The most intelligent solution Instead of building a curved wall, an octogonal shape can be used.
Advantages - If combined with top arched windows (Spanish or Morisco style), the building will still seem round and therefore the architectural design will have been achieved.
- The cost increase is not so high if built with 45 degree angle blocks.
Disadvantages - It is not completely round!
