Before us stands an exquisite example of Victorian urban architecture – an elegant townhouse with a distinctive dark blue façade. The building features a vertical rhythm and symmetrical composition typical of late 19th-century urban residences. The façade is made of brick painted in a deep navy blue that contrasts dramatically with the white decorative elements.
The window arrangements with their characteristic framing demand particular attention. The first and second-floor windows are designed in a neoclassical style with decorative casings and miniature cornices. The second floor is adorned with a group of three windows with arched tops. The mansard window with its semicircular top and triangular pediment gives the building completeness and an elegant silhouette.
The entrance is designed as an arched portal with classical white pilasters and a decorative keystone. The façade's decorative elements – cornices, window casings, pilasters – are executed in white, creating a crisp graphic pattern against the dark background. This technique emphasizes the architectural details and gives the building its expressiveness.
In modern private construction, several techniques could be borrowed: contrasting color schemes for the façade, symmetrical arrangement of windows of different sizes, the use of decorative elements to frame windows and doors, as well as careful integration of the building into the overall architectural environment. The well-maintained hedge in front of the house complements the composition, softening the transition from architecture to the urban environment.
