What is your intended meaning?

The design of the house is traditional, and when I am in the house, I get the same feeling as I do when I am in spaces with a traditional design. See the pictures on these sites for "traditional design."

ansonguy I like the old design of ...

This suggests I like the former design of ..., i.e., I like the design that you abandoned and are no longer using. It might suggest also that you don't like the current design, the design which will actually be used.

Is that what you meant?
