Before us is an elegant arched entrance to building No. 40, representing a beautiful example of traditional European architecture with thoughtfully designed decorative elements. The facade combines several textural solutions: the lower part is faced with rough natural stone, creating a sense of reliability and solidity, while the upper part is finished with sand-colored plaster with a fine texture.
The central element of the composition is a semicircular arch with keystones framing the doorway. The decorative relief elements on both sides of the arch deserve special attention – molded garlands or cartouches that add sophistication to the facade and reference the classical architectural tradition. Above the arch is the historical house number in the style of "№40," and below is a modern plate with the number "40," creating an interesting dialogue between past and present.
The wooden entrance door with large glass inserts is made of quality oak with a paneled structure in the lower part. The glass allows natural light to penetrate the vestibule and visually lightens the massive structure. The semicircular transom window above the door complements the arched composition and enhances the architectural integrity of the entrance group.
When designing your own facade, you can adopt several techniques: combining different textures and materials (stone and plaster), using arched elements to give a classical appearance, adding symmetrical decorative details to create balance and harmony, as well as a thoughtful combination of historical and modern elements. It is also important to pay attention to proportions and color scheme, choosing warm natural shades that work well in an urban environment.
