#1643. Elegant Mediterranean façade with arched entrance and terracotta roof tiles

This stunning example of architectural craftsmanship is presented in this charming entrance portal numbered 491. Before us stands a characteristic example of Mediterranean style with distinct Spanish and Catalan motifs, skillfully integrated into the urban environment.

The entrance group façade demonstrates a magnificent combination of materials: brick masonry of the arched opening, carved wooden double doors, and contrasting terracotta tiles with blue accents on the canopy roof. The portal arch is made of dark brick, creating a solid visual foundation for the entire composition. The brickwork elegantly frames the doorway, giving the entrance monumentality while maintaining warmth.

The wooden doors deserve special attention: their arched shape harmonizes with the overall architecture of the entrance, while the upper part with glass inserts provides natural lighting while maintaining privacy. The carved panels of the lower part of the doors demonstrate fine carpentry work, emphasizing the status and character of the building.

The gabled canopy with a pronounced overhang protects the entrance from precipitation and creates a cozy transitional space between the street and the interior. Particularly noteworthy is the canopy roof finishing—bright terracotta tiles with blue accent elements provide a characteristic Mediterranean color palette and add expressiveness to the façade.

The wrought iron fence and stone foundation of the façade complement the composition, creating a holistic architectural ensemble. When designing the façade of your own home, you can adopt such a harmonious approach to combining materials and colors to create an expressive and functional entrance portal with character.
