This image showcases an impressive fragment of an Art Deco style building façade with characteristic decorative elements. Particularly eye-catching is the stained glass, executed in a vibrant color palette using orange, green, beige, and brown tones. The stained glass panels are positioned in the lower and upper portions of the window openings, forming a picturesque ornamental pattern with abstract, almost botanical motifs.
The architectural solution of the façade is based on a clear vertical rhythm – stone pilasters made of light sandstone or limestone divide the façade into uniform sections. The window frames are finished in contrasting black, which emphasizes the geometric structure of the façade and creates an additional play of light and shadow. The central part of each window is covered with light curtains, adding a certain intimacy and depth to the façade.
The combination of monumental stonework with playful, almost fluorescent stained glass creates an interesting balance between the strictness of forms and decorative freedom – a typical approach for the architecture of the first half of the 20th century, when traditional materials began to be combined with modernist artistic explorations.
