The photograph showcases an expressive fragment of a building facade in Art Deco style with strong Spanish-Moorish architectural influences. The facade features a characteristic two-tone color scheme – terracotta-red stripes effectively contrast with the cream-colored wall base, creating a rhythmic, almost ornamental pattern.
The building is crowned with a decorative parapet with a jagged silhouette, adorned with fan-shaped elements resembling stylized shells or sun rays – a typical Art Deco motif. Oval purple inserts, evenly distributed across the facade, add sophistication to the composition and echo the modernist aesthetics of the 1920s-30s.
The balconies with turquoise window frames and openwork metal railings give the facade a special character, softening the geometric rigor of the overall composition. The zigzag ornament in the central part emphasizes the vertical axis of the building and enhances the decorative expressiveness. Small plants on the balconies and upper terrace add life and organic quality to the building.
This architectural specimen demonstrates a masterful combination of decorative elements from various origins, organized into a harmonious and memorable composition, characteristic of the eclectic approach of the Mediterranean interpretation of Art Deco style.
