Art Nouveau Corner Building with Decorative Façade and Observation Deck

#13784. Art Nouveau Corner Building with Decorative Façade and Observation Deck

Before us stands a remarkable example of early 20th century architecture featuring prominent Art Nouveau elements with regional influences. This corner building attracts attention with its non-standard composition and rounded corner section, crowned by an elegant observation deck with metal railings, giving the building a lighthouse-like aesthetic.

The façade demonstrates a masterful alternation of textures and materials. The terracotta-colored brickwork effectively contrasts with white plastered surfaces. Particularly noteworthy is the decorative band of circular elements encircling the building and creating a rhythmic pattern. The windows of the first and second floors differ in size and shape, adding dynamics to the façade.

The semi-circular balconies with wrought iron railings emphasize the building's elegance, while the tall arched doors on the ground floor create a sense of spaciousness and grandeur. Despite visible signs of age and need for restoration, the façade design maintains its architectural integrity and expressiveness.

When developing modern facades, several techniques can be borrowed from this project: contrasting combinations of materials, repeating decorative elements to create rhythm, and special attention to corner solutions that can become accent points of the entire building composition.
