The image showcases a fragment of a brick façade of a historical building, executed in an eclectic style with neoclassical elements. The façade is clad in red brick and features a rhythmic composition with expressive architectural details. Particularly noteworthy is the decorative cornice with modillions, creating a striking play of light and shadow.
The façade exhibits a clear three-part vertical division, with each floor separated by cornices and distinguished by different window treatment. The second floor is highlighted by arched windows with rusticated surrounds, while the upper level features simpler rectangular windows with decorative elements above them. The dentil cornice beneath the roof adds elegance and completeness to the building.
The mastery of brickwork is evident in numerous decorative details: protruding rustic elements, brick arches, decorative inserts beneath windows, and meticulously crafted interstory belts. This approach to façade design can be utilized in modern home construction by applying textured brickwork or its imitation to create accent walls, highlighting window openings with decorative casings, and adding rhythmic elements in the form of cornices.
