Before us is a striking example of Belgian or Northern European urban architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century, demonstrating eclectic elements with Art Nouveau influences. The main façade is constructed of red brick with characteristic horizontal stripes creating a rhythmic division of the surface.
Particularly noteworthy are the decorative elements surrounding the door and window openings on the ground floor - arched frames made of light-colored brick form almost complete circles, which is a distinctive feature of Art Nouveau. These brick arches are complemented by elegant white decorative elements on the sides, creating a smooth, organic transition.
The upper floor is designed more modestly: rectangular windows with wooden frames and light-colored surrounds that emphasize the façade structure. The mansard floor with its characteristic slate finishing and small window completes the composition, giving the building a traditional European appearance.
When designing a modern façade, several techniques presented in this building can be adopted: contrasting combination of materials (brick/stone/plaster), accentuation of the entrance group, professional design of window frame surrounds, and the use of color contrast to highlight architectural details. These elements can make even a typical house truly expressive and individual.
