This specimen represents a magnificent example of Victorian architecture, likely belonging to the Queen Anne style. The two-story mansion showcases classic elements of this architectural direction: an asymmetrical facade with a characteristic round turret (bay window) on the left corner, adorned with elegant windows and a decorative balcony with a balustrade.
The facade is distinguished by a wealth of decorative elements. Particularly impressive is the carved ornamental frieze encircling the upper part of the first floor. The roof has a complex multi-pitched form with a projecting gable in the center, decorated with ornamental glazing and carved elements. There is a skillful combination of textures — the horizontal siding of the main facade contrasts with the decorative elements.
The entrance area is designed with a classic porch featuring columns and a stone base, as well as a wide veranda with a balustrade. The windows have various shapes and sizes, typical for Victorian style, with some adorned with stained glass. The color scheme of the facade — light, neutral shades — advantageously highlights the architectural details and creates an elegant, noble appearance.
The area in front of the house is designed with great attention to detail: stone retaining walls, a brick pathway, central fountain, and neat plantings create a harmonious environment that emphasizes the status and historical value of the mansion.
When designing a modern facade, several techniques can be borrowed from this historical example: using asymmetry to create a dynamic appearance; applying decorative elements (carvings, balustrades, friezes) to accentuate the main parts of the facade; combining different textures and materials; creating an expressive silhouette through complex roof forms and projecting elements; and careful design of the entrance area as an important architectural accent.
