#16427. Neoclassical villa with contrasting brick façade and decorative elements

The image showcases an elegant historic villa executed in a neoclassical style with elements of early 20th century Italian architecture. The façade displays a striking combination of red brick and light beige stone, creating a bold contrast that highlights the architectural details. Particularly noteworthy are the decorative elements framing the windows – they are executed in a classical manner using pilasters and cornices.

The building has a compact yet imposing three-story composition with a characteristic belvedere tower at the top, which adds dynamism and a vertical accent to the silhouette. Balustrades on balconies and terraces repeat classical motifs and add sophistication to the building. The symmetry of the façade is deliberately broken, creating an expressive architectural rhythm.

For private housing, several techniques can be borrowed from this example: the contrasting combination of façade materials, the use of classical window proportions, decorative framing of openings, and professional façade design that considers the play of light and shadow. Balustrades, even simplified ones, can become an expressive element of a private home, adding elegance without excessive cost.
