#16361. Elegant Blue Art Nouveau Facade with Decorative Elements

In focus is a magnificent example of early 20th century urban architecture, showcasing an elegant blue facade with rich decorative elements. This two-story building represents a characteristic specimen of Art Nouveau style, which was popular in European architecture at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

The first floor facade is executed in a light gray color with graceful arched windows framed by decorative metal elements in the Art Nouveau style with characteristic flowing, organic lines. The second floor attracts attention with its soft blue brickwork, which creates a delightful contrast with white decorative elements. Particularly notable is the exquisite stucco ornament above the central window of the second floor and the cornice with a repeating relief pattern.

Window openings are framed with white casings, emphasizing the architectural composition and creating a depth effect. The mansard roof with a small dormer window adds verticality to the building and completes the composition. When designing a facade for a private home, several techniques can be noted: contrasting combination of colors between the main surface and decorative elements, use of symmetry in window placement, and addition of stucco decorations to give individuality.
