Modernist Façade with Geometric Blue Accents

#16213. Modernist Façade with Geometric Blue Accents

This image showcases an excellent example of a decorative modernist façade with distinct elements of Jugendstil or Art Nouveau. The façade is painted in a soft yellowish color, creating a warm background for the expressive architectural details.

The composition of the façade is strictly symmetrical, with three vertical rows of distinctively shaped windows. The windows feature characteristic rounded octagonal frames that give the building a recognizable appearance. Each window is equipped with dark blinds, which is not only functional but also creates a rhythmic visual contrast with the pale wall.

Particularly noteworthy are the decorative elements between the windows — vibrant blue ceramic inserts in diamond shapes with geometric patterns. These decorative accents bring color and texture to the overall composition. Below the central windows of each row are small balconies with metal railings and additional blue decorative inserts.

The façade is also enriched with round turquoise medallions placed above each window, creating an additional rhythmic pattern. This technique visually unifies all elements of the composition.

When designing your own façade, several techniques from this building could be adopted: using geometric colored inserts for accentuation; symmetrical arrangement of unusually shaped windows; contrasting combination of the main façade color with bright decorative elements; adding small architectural forms (medallions, wrought iron elements) to give individuality.
