#14025. Snow-white Ottoman mansion with decorative façade and conical dome

This elegant mansion represents a fine example of Ottoman architecture with European influences. The façade is executed in white, giving it sophistication and highlighting its architectural details. The structure features an asymmetrical composition with a characteristic tower topped by a conical dome covered with terracotta tiles. Special attention is drawn to the decorative carvings along the cornices – intricate white elements that create contrast with the red roofing and add lightness to the building.

The façade is adorned with classical elements: graceful balconies with wrought iron railings, arched windows, and pilasters that visually support the second floor. The basement level is faced with natural stone, creating a sense of reliability and solidity in the construction. This façade design technique can also be applied in modern private construction to create a contrast of textures and materials.

The mansion is harmoniously integrated into the surrounding landscape. A formal garden with geometric flowerbeds is laid out in front of the building, emphasizing the architectural style of the structure. The Turkish flag indicates the official status of the building, likely a historical residence or museum. The combination of architecture and landscape design creates a cohesive ensemble, demonstrating the high mastery of both architects and gardeners.
