#16235. Art Nouveau wooden façade with decorative portal and two-tone design

This is an expressive example of a historical wooden façade with elements of Art Nouveau and traditional Russian architecture. The entrance group demonstrates a carefully crafted carved portal with stylistic features characteristic of the early 20th century. The two-tone façade solution — a combination of yellow background with gray-blue decorative elements — creates an elegant contrast.

Particularly notable are the curvilinear motifs in the design of doors and windows, typical for Art Nouveau. The double entrance door has figured panels and is framed by an intricate decorative frame. Above the entrance is a canopy supported by carved brackets, as well as an information sign indicating that the building likely houses a tourism or cultural center.

The architectural value of this façade lies in its preserved authentic details: figured window frames, carved elements, and the thoughtful composition of the entrance group. For modern private construction, this example demonstrates how to use contrasting color schemes, decorative framing for windows and doors, and how to skillfully highlight the entrance area with a portal and small canopy. Such techniques can be adapted to create an expressive and individual façade for a private home.
