The photograph showcases an elegant two-story mansion featuring an eclectic style that combines neoclassical and Mediterranean architectural elements. The façade is executed in a warm sand-yellow palette with contrasting white decorative elements. The most expressive features are the massive Ionic columns supporting a wide cornice with projecting roof overhangs.
The façade composition is symmetrical, with an accentuated central entrance framed by an arch made of pinkish brick. The entrance group is emphasized by a wide staircase and decorative lion sculptures on the balustrade. The upper part of the façade is finished with light stucco and adorned with cornices featuring dentils (tooth-like ornamental pattern).
The window openings are organized rhythmically: large windows with black frames on the second floor, and vertically elongated windows on the first floor. An important detail is the dark-colored wooden doors, which create contrast with the overall light coloration of the building.
The landscaping includes subtropical plants — palm trees, cypresses, and ornamental shrubs — which emphasize the Mediterranean character of the architecture.
When designing your own façade, you could borrow several techniques from this house: contrasting combination of materials (stucco and brick), accentuating the entrance area with decorative columns or pilasters, symmetrical façade composition, and using classical architectural orders in modern interpretation. Creating color contrasts between the main wall surface and architectural details is also an effective technique.
