Facade with Arched Portal: Brick and Stone Eclecticism of the Early 20th Century

#15157. Facade with Arched Portal: Brick and Stone Eclecticism of the Early 20th Century

This architectural element presents an elegant entrance portal of a residential building in a style characteristic of the early 20th century. The facade features contrasting materials: warm reddish brick and light-colored sandstone or limestone, which forms the arched doorway. Compositionally, the entrance is designed as a classical portal with a clearly defined arch and decorative elements.

The wooden door in a honey-golden hue deserves special attention, crafted in a traditional style with vertical panel divisions and small glazing in the upper section. The door is adorned with metal decorative plates and traditional mail slots. The upper part of the entrance includes architectural glazing, which adds lightness to the structure while providing natural illumination to the vestibule.

An interesting facade detail is the decorative element above the arch, possibly a stylized console or mascaron, as well as the historical lighting fixture to the left of the entrance. The address plate "262-264" indicates that the building likely contains several apartments or is a duplex.

This facade design style can be adapted for a modern private home by using a combination of materials to create textural contrast, adding arched elements to give a classical appearance, and paying attention to quality details such as wooden doors with traditional proportions and decorative elements. Such an approach will give the building a sense of solidity and historical continuity.
