The image shows a fragment of a historical building facade in a terracotta (reddish-orange) color. The architecture displays elements of eclecticism with neo-classical features. The facade is distinguished by expressive brickwork and rich decoration.
Particularly noteworthy are the geometric ornaments in the upper part of the facade — stylized stepped elements forming a crenellated cornice. Between the floors runs a pronounced interstory belt with small denticles (tooth-like projections). In the middle part of the facade, decorative elements can be observed in the form of vertical recesses and fan-shaped brick details above the second-floor windows.
The windows have a simple rectangular shape, creating a contrast with the rich architectural decor. Below the second-floor windows are small decorative cornices that add plasticity and depth to the facade.
Similar decorative techniques can be adapted for modern private construction using simpler forms: geometric ornaments in the upper part of the facade, decorative elements around windows, highlighting interstory belts, and using contrasting textures. A monochromatic color scheme can also be an interesting solution to emphasize the architectural details of the facade.
