Eclectic Mansion Façade with Art Nouveau and Neo-Russian Elements

#14459. Eclectic Mansion Façade with Art Nouveau and Neo-Russian Elements

This remarkable architectural specimen is a red-brick building with a unique façade that combines elements of Art Nouveau and Neo-Russian style. The façade demonstrates the eclectic design approach characteristic of the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. The central entrance is framed by an exquisite stone portal with sculptural decoration, above which is an impressive rose window complemented by artistic panels.

Particularly expressive is the tent-shaped roof with a pointed profile, giving the structure a recognizable silhouette. Decorative columns with sculptural elements are installed on both sides of the façade - a characteristic technique of monumental decoration of that period. The windows of the first floor have arched completions, creating a rhythmic pattern along the entire façade.

When designing the façade of a modern house, several valuable techniques can be drawn from this example: the use of contrasting materials (brick and stone), highlighting the central axis of the building with richer decoration, using sculptural elements as accents, and creating an expressive roof silhouette as the dominant feature of the architectural composition.
