Modernist Façade with Mosaic Window Frame: Blue Ornament on White Background

#1525. Modernist Façade with Mosaic Window Frame: Blue Ornament on White Background

The image showcases an unusual window with wooden shutters, framed by an intricate mosaic composition reminiscent of the works of Antoni Gaudí or other masters of Catalan Modernism. The window features an asymmetrical shape with smooth, organic curves, which is a characteristic feature of Art Nouveau style.

The façade solution is distinguished by its expressive decorative nature. The window framing is made of small mosaic tiles predominantly in a blue and white color scheme. The mosaic pattern includes geometric elements — rhythmical blue rectangles along the outer edge and circular medallions with radial designs. Wavy lines of blue mosaic tiles unify the composition. In the lower part of the frame, fragments of multicolored ceramics are visible, adding an extra decorative accent.

The window itself is covered with dark brown wooden shutters, creating a contrast with the vibrant mosaic. The shape of the window opening is non-standard — it curves and seems to flow into the wall, demonstrating the plasticity of architectural forms characteristic of early 20th century modernist movements.

At the bottom of the frame, a green mosaic finish is visible, which is likely part of the overall façade design of the building, supporting the idea of decorativeness and color expressiveness.
