Before us stands a remarkable example of Russian wooden architecture that demonstrates virtuoso wood carving craftsmanship and traditional building techniques. This two-story house with a mezzanine is executed in the style of Russian wooden architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century, combining elements of the so-called "Russian style" with Art Nouveau influences.
The building's facade represents a magnificent example of the decorative richness of folk architecture. The log walls are painted in a delicate blue color, which emphasizes the elegance of numerous carved elements. Particular attention is drawn to the intricate carved window frames, cornices, and gables. The decorative facade design includes fanciful patterns resembling lace, giving the building an airy and exquisite appearance.
The upper part of the building is adorned with a mezzanine featuring an open terrace, framed by decorative columns and a balustrade. A distinctive feature of the structure is its asymmetrical composition with a small tower topped by a tent roof with red covering, creating a bright accent against the blue main volume. The window openings are framed by richly decorated casings with characteristic Russian wooden architecture elements including soffits and carved boards.
Similar facade decoration techniques can be adapted for modern wooden house construction: using contrasting colors to highlight architectural details, applying carved elements to decorate cornices, gables, and window frames, as well as creating cozy terraces with decorative railings.
