Before us stands a majestic example of a neoclassical urban mansion that demonstrates an exquisite balance between historical elegance and contemporary details. The facade is crafted from light-colored stone, giving the structure a noble and monumental appearance that contrasts beautifully with the neighboring brick buildings.
Compositionally, the facade is divided into three tiers, each with its own architectural character. The lower level is adorned with three arched openings – a central entrance door and two arched windows with decorative balustrades. Classical proportions and symmetry create a sense of harmony, while small wall sconces on either side of the entrance add a functional element without disrupting the historical aesthetic.
The middle tier features more austere rectangular windows with clean lines and a decorative band beneath the windowsills. Particularly noteworthy is the attention to detail – cornices, pilasters, and ornamental elements add volume and depth to the facade, demonstrating mastery in facade design that pays careful attention to historical details.
The upper level consists of a mansard floor with modern glazing in a metal frame, creating an interesting contrast with the historical elements of the lower tiers. The roof with small decorative elements completes the composition, giving the building a finished appearance.
This facade demonstrates how classical elements can be successfully incorporated when designing a modern home – symmetry, proportionality, detailed cornices and framings, as well as playing with textures and materials. The technique of combining historical style with contemporary elements is particularly successful, creating a building that is timeless yet relevant in an urban context.
