Curved Brick Facade: Rounded Art Deco Residence

#15736. Curved Brick Facade: Rounded Art Deco Residence

This is a remarkable example of Art Deco residential architecture with pronounced modernist elements. The rounded brick facade in a rich terracotta shade creates a soft yet monumental appearance. The architectural solution features smooth, streamlined forms characteristic of the "streamline moderne" style – a late offshoot of Art Deco popular in the 1930s.

The geometric composition of the facade deserves special attention with its semi-circular bay windows and large windows framed with metal frames, providing abundant natural light to the interior spaces. The upper level of the building is crowned with an impressive balcony with a brick parapet and metal railings, which adds completeness to the structure and creates an interesting interplay of volumes.

The entrance to the building is emphasized by a central portico with stairs leading to the front door. Symmetry and rhythm can be traced throughout the design, from the arrangement of windows to the brickwork. The landscaping with a neatly trimmed lawn and container plants complements the architectural ensemble, creating a harmonious combination of the building with its surroundings.

When designing your own home, several techniques can be noted: the use of curvilinear forms to soften the facade; monochrome brickwork that gives the building integrity and warmth; a clear rhythm of window openings; functional architectural elements such as protruding bay windows and balconies that not only decorate the facade but also expand the interior space. It is also worth paying attention to the harmonious combination of straight and curved lines, creating a dynamic yet balanced appearance of the building.
