Before us is a beautiful example of Art Nouveau architecture from the early 20th century. This three-story building attracts attention with its characteristic brick facade richly decorated with ornamental elements. The facade's base is made of red brick, creating a warm, rich background for the lighter decorative elements.
The central accent of the facade is an extensive decorative panel between the first and second floors, featuring a composition with a ray-like pattern emanating from a central medallion. This technique is typical of the Art Nouveau style with its gravitation toward natural, flowing forms and ornamentality.
The architectural composition is complemented by arched windows on the ground floor, framed with contrasting light elements, creating an interesting rhythmic pattern. The wrought iron balcony on the second floor with its elegant railing design adds elegance to the building and becomes a functional decoration.
Note the harmonious combination of horizontal and vertical articulations of the facade: horizontal decorative strips of light material contrast with the vertical lines of window openings. Such facade design demonstrates how a professional approach to architectural planning can create an expressive architectural appearance of a building.
The upper part of the facade is adorned with a decorative frieze under the cornice, creating an effective completion of the composition. The natural component in the form of tree branches framing the upper part of the facade in the photograph successfully complements the organic motifs of Art Nouveau, as if continuing the architect's intended play with natural forms.
