#16013. Elegant facade of a 1903 historical mansion with contrasting decor and bay window

Before us stands a beautiful example of historical architecture from 1903, as evidenced by the marking on the facade. This elegant two-story structure demonstrates features of late Art Nouveau with elements of traditional wooden architecture.

The building's facade is executed in light tones with contrasting brown decorative elements, creating an elegant visual effect. Particularly eye-catching are the richly adorned window frames with exquisite carvings in their upper sections. The oval arched elements of the ground floor harmoniously contrast with the rectangular windows of the second floor, creating an interesting compositional interplay.

The expressive bay window on the second floor with a balcony, adorned with decorative brackets and carved details, gives the facade volume and dynamism. The small-paned windows characteristic of early 20th century architecture add historical charm to the building.

For a modern homeowner inspired by such aesthetics, one might recommend using contrasting color schemes to highlight architectural details, decorative brackets under projecting elements, carved window frames, and ornate trim under the cornice. The decorative geometry of forms (combination of rectangular and arched elements) is also an effective technique for creating a visually interesting facade.
