#14976. Art Deco Facade with Scale-like Decoration and Geometric Reliefs

Before us is an impressive example of modernist architecture with clear Art Deco influences. The building's facade features expressive texture and rhythmic composition. Particularly notable are the vertical elements on the edges, creating a frame with a scale-like texture that adds sculptural quality and visual interest to the building.

The windows are organized in a clear grid pattern, but their framing has a complex geometric shape with recesses and protrusions, creating an interplay of light and shadow on the facade surface. The central part of the building is decorated with vertical relief elements between windows, enhancing the sense of height and elegance.

The light-colored stone cladding gives the building solidity and monumentality characteristic of urban architecture from the early to mid-20th century. The textural elements used in the facade design demonstrate masterful stonework and attention to detail.

Similar facade design techniques — rhythmic alternation of elements, play with texture, relief decorations — can be adapted for modern private construction as well. When designing a facade for a private house, such details can help create a unique appearance that stands out among typical buildings while maintaining elegance and architectural integrity.
