#13793. Noble historical mansion with terracotta facade and classical elements

The image showcases a magnificent example of historical architecture with distinct elements of classicism and Art Nouveau. The building stands out with its terracotta-red facade with white decorative elements, creating a striking contrast. This three-story mansion is crowned with a characteristic mansard roof adorned with decorative elements and sun-motif ornaments.

The facade is symmetrically organized with a central entrance and balconies on each floor. Particularly noteworthy are the elegant balustrades of the balconies with decorative columns supporting the upper tiers. Window openings are framed with white casings, and above the second-floor windows are decorative pediments with stucco elements. The ground floor is designed in a more restrained manner, creating a sense of monumentality for the entire structure.

The bay windows on both sides of the facade deserve special attention, expanding the interior space while simultaneously serving as an important decorative element. The building demonstrates masterful facade design with a balance of functionality and aesthetics.

When creating your own home, several techniques can be borrowed: contrasting color scheme for the facade, use of classical proportions, decorative framing of window openings and balconies, as well as playing with volumes through bay windows. Even in a modern interpretation, these elements can give a building individuality and architectural expressiveness.
