This expressive window opening is a magnificent example of Art Nouveau architecture with eclectic elements. The window is set in a yellow brick façade and framed with rich terracotta decoration. The upper part of the frame is designed as a figured arch with the flowing curves characteristic of Art Nouveau, as well as decorative elements in the form of keel-shaped protrusions.
The color scheme deserves special attention: the terracotta-red decorative elements effectively contrast with the yellow brickwork of the façade, while turquoise-green inserts create an additional accent. Decorative ceramic tiles with ornaments, embedded in the vertical elements of the frame, add sophistication to the entire composition. The lower part of the window frame is adorned with geometric relief featuring a triangular motif, which creates a solid visual foundation.
The window itself has an arched shape with divisions into sections characteristic of historical buildings from the late 19th - early 20th century. The upper part of the window is semicircular, which harmoniously complements the curve of the decorative frame.
Similar façade design techniques can be adapted for a modern home by using simplified decorative elements, contrasting color combinations, or stylized arched windows. Even if reproducing such detailed ornamentation is challenging, one can use the color palette and general proportions to create expressive accents on a private home façade.
