#16350. Elegant Art Nouveau facade with bay window and decorative wrought-iron balustrade

The presented image showcases an exquisite example of early 20th century Art Nouveau architecture with a characteristic combination of functionality and aesthetics. The building facade is constructed from light-colored brick with decorative horizontal inserts of red brick, creating an elegant rhythmic pattern on the wall surface.

The dominant element of the composition is a bay window with a semi-circular arched completion in the upper part and a rectangular form in the lower part. The bay windows are framed with wooden frames in a warm brown shade, contrasting with the cool tone of the brickwork. Particularly noteworthy is the exquisite metal balustrade of the balcony with ornamental wrought-iron patterns typical of the Art Nouveau style.

The architectural composition demonstrates a masterful combination of materials: stone, brick, wood, and metal interact to create an expressive volume. The vertical framing elements of the bay window, made of gray stone, emphasize the slenderness of the structure and serve as important structural and decorative elements.

Similar facade design techniques can be adapted for modern facade design of private houses, where the combination of different materials, textures, and colors can create an expressive and harmonious appearance of the building. Bay windows not only expand the interior space of the rooms but also give the facade plasticity and dynamics, while decorative metal elements can become bright accents that give individuality to the architectural appearance.
