#1176. Modernist façade with turquoise floral ornaments and intricate balconies

This is a beautiful example of an early 20th century modernist façade typical of Mediterranean architecture, possibly Barcelona's Modernisme. The façade is divided into two distinct levels with elegant balconies.

The upper level is decorated with a soft beige plaster featuring exquisite turquoise floral ornaments in Art Nouveau style. Note the symmetrically placed floral motifs between the windows, creating a rhythmic visual effect. The building's cornice is adorned with classical modillions and decorative elements.

Balconies on both levels are framed with intricate wrought iron railings featuring characteristic geometric patterns and decorative elements typical of the modernist style. The contrast between the light façade finish and dark metallic details creates an expressive interplay of light and shadow.

The lower level of the façade features more restrained styling with white finishing and decorative horizontal bands. The window openings with traditional wooden louvered shutters give the building a traditional Mediterranean character while providing functionality in a hot climate.

Overall, the façade demonstrates a harmonious combination of decorative and functional elements typical of Catalan modernist architecture, with obvious influences from the works of masters such as Antoni Gaudí or Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
