Before us stands an exquisite example of Liberty style architecture (the Italian variant of Art Nouveau), embodying the sophistication and refinement of the early 20th century. The building represents a luxurious villa with a richly decorated façade abundant with sculptural elements. Particularly noteworthy is the asymmetrical composition of the structure with its characteristic tower crowning the corner section.
The façade demonstrates masterful work with decorative elements: elegant stucco ornaments in the form of floral motifs cover the cornices, frame the windows, and adorn the balconies. The color palette is restrained – predominantly beige, complemented by decorative friezes with geometric patterns in turquoise and terracotta tones, creating an elegant contrast with the main façade color.
Characteristic elements include curved balconies with delicate metal railings, protruding bay windows, and multi-level terraces. Windows of various shapes and sizes are framed by sculptural elements, giving the façade dynamism and expressiveness. The central entrance is accentuated by an elegant staircase and columns supporting the second-floor balcony.
When designing a modern façade, several techniques from this style can be borrowed: compositional asymmetry, interplay of volumes, use of decorative inserts and ornamental friezes, contrasting color accents, and the organic combination of functional elements (windows, balconies) with decorative motifs. Even in a simplified, adapted form, these techniques will create an expressive and memorable appearance for a residential home.
