This exquisite mansion represents a fine example of eclectic architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century, combining elements of Art Nouveau and Neo-Gothic styles. The building is constructed of yellow brick with decorative red brick inserts, creating a striking contrast and emphasizing architectural details. Particularly expressive are the arched window openings framed with red brick, which give rhythm and elegance to the facade.
The facade of the building is asymmetrical, characteristic of Art Nouveau architecture, and demonstrates a wealth of architectural elements. Note the turret with a pointed roof on the right side of the building, crowned with a decorative weather vane – a typical element for mansions of that era. The white balcony on the second floor with elegant railings creates a light accent against the massive brick wall and adds functionality to the living space.
The terracotta tile roof with expressive slopes and protruding cornices not only serves a practical function but also becomes an important decorative element. Such a solution for facade design provides an opportunity to create an expressive silhouette of the building and emphasize its individuality.
When designing a modern house, one can borrow some techniques used in this mansion: contrasting combinations of materials and colors, asymmetrical composition, decorative framing of window openings, use of architectural details (turrets, bay windows) to create an expressive building silhouette. A special atmosphere is created by the well-maintained hedge surrounding the property, harmoniously complementing the architectural ensemble.
