#16201. Elegant Art Nouveau Façade with Decorative Contrasts

The image showcases a magnificent example of Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) architecture from the early 20th century. The building features a characteristic asymmetrical façade in a sand-yellow color with expressive brown decorative elements that create a striking contrast.

The façade demonstrates typical Northern Art Nouveau characteristics: an elegant curvilinear pediment at the top of the building with distinctive ornamental patterns, arched windows of various sizes and shapes, and a projecting bay window with a balcony on the second floor. Particularly noteworthy is the meticulously detailed window framing, which gives the building a special elegance.

The ground floor is finished with natural stone, creating an impression of a solid foundation and adding textural variety. The roof has a complex mansard shape with dark tiles, harmoniously completing the overall composition.

Similar façade design techniques can be adapted for modern home construction by using contrasting color combinations, decorative window framing elements, combining different textures and materials (plaster, stone), and incorporating asymmetrical elements to create a more dynamic and expressive building appearance.
