Style
Bristol Byzantism arose under the influence of Byzantine and Moorish architecture and was used in the construction of industrial buildings (warehouses and factories).
The style is characterized by a simple plan, rough materials and multi-colored bricks: red, yellow, black and white. Arched passages are decorated on the ground floor, and the upper floors are joined by horizontal or vertical groups of window openings.
The first Bristol-style Byzantine style building designed by Richard Shackleton Pope was the Bush House (the modern Arnolfini Museum), a tea warehouse in the Floating Harbor in the center of Bristol. The building is three floors with a stone basement and rectangular windows, framed by high semicircular arches, and a small attic [7] .
The term “Bristol Byzantism” was proposed by Sir John Summerson [8] .
