#1887. Elegant Art Nouveau residential mansion with decorative yellow façade

The image showcases an excellent example of early 20th century Art Nouveau (Modernisme) architecture. This two-story building features a distinctive light yellow façade with rich decorative elements. The façade has a symmetrical composition with an expressive central risalit and protruding side sections, crowned with decorative parapets with crenellations and small dome-shaped finials.

Particularly noteworthy is the plasticity of the façade, achieved through the soft lines of architectural elements. Numerous decorative details include elegant stucco ornaments under the windows and ornamental elements on the parapets and cornices. The building's windows are framed with elegant casings and equipped with wooden shutters, which is typical for Mediterranean architecture.

The balconies are adorned with delicate wrought iron railings featuring geometric patterns, which adds additional expressiveness and lightness to the façade. The crowning elements in the form of small towers at the corners of the building give it a certain monumentality despite its relatively modest size.

The façade demonstrates an interesting combination of stylistic elements: besides Art Nouveau features, there are echoes of neoclassicism in the symmetry of the composition and some Moorish motifs in the decorative design, which may indicate the influence of Mediterranean architectural tradition. The area around the building is enclosed with a metal fence, emphasizing its isolation and ceremonial character.
