Before us stands a magnificent example of Romanesque architecture with elements of Victorian style. This massive stone building impresses with its monumental facade made of light limestone, which beautifully contrasts with the wooden trim elements in a rich terracotta color.
The facade demonstrates an excellent play with architectural details — there are arched windows in the upper part of the building that enhance the Gothic character of the structure. Particularly noteworthy is the magnificent portico with Corinthian columns, creating a ceremonial entrance to the building. The massive stone arches of the portico rest on elegant columns with intricately crafted capitals.
The facade design actively employs decorative elements — cornices with a dentil ornament, bay windows with panoramic glass, and meticulously rendered details. Note the beautiful bay window on the right — its rounded form softens the overall monumentality of the structure and adds dynamics to the architectural composition.
Such facade design can be adapted for a modern private home, emphasizing the texture of materials and playing with architectural details. Even without using natural stone, modern finishing materials allow recreating similar textures, while highlighting window and door openings with contrasting colors helps emphasize the architectural composition of the building.
