#1773. Majestic Neo-Renaissance façade with columns and rich stucco decoration

The presented image showcases a magnificent example of a classical façade in Neo-Renaissance style with Baroque elements. The composition of the façade is organized according to the principle of symmetry, giving the building monumentality and solemnity. The central element is a luxurious balcony with four Corinthian columns creating a portico effect. Each column has a characteristic capital with acanthus leaves, emphasizing the classical motifs of the architecture.

The façade is constructed of light-colored brick, which creates a pleasant warm tone for the entire composition. Arched windows, framed by decorative elements, give the building rhythmicity and elegance. The rich stucco decoration with heraldic motifs on the balcony balustrade and above the window openings deserves special attention. Decorative cartouches and coat of arms shields testify to the representative character of the building.

In modern private façade design, such elements can be adapted using more laconic forms. For example, arched windows and symmetrical proportions are quite applicable in modern architecture, and instead of complex stucco, one can use simplified geometric decorative elements that will create a reference to the classical style, maintaining elegance without excessive heaviness.
