#1967. Modernist Brick Facade with Arched Door and Colorful Ceramic Accents

The image showcases an exquisite architectural facade element within a brick wall. The composition is centered around an elegant wooden door with an arched top. The door is crafted from warm reddish-brown wood and features glazed panels with textured greenish glass, creating a semi-transparent effect.

The doorway is framed by a skillfully laid brick arch with radial brickwork that emphasizes the semi-circular form. The upper part of the arch is decorated with blue ceramic mosaic tiles, creating a vivid color accent against the terracotta brick wall. On both sides of the door, small arched niches are symmetrically positioned, protected by decorative cast-iron grilles with ornamental patterns.

Of particular note is the use of green ceramic tiles as decorative inserts — they adorn the threshold and the windowsills of the side niches. This creates a color correspondence with the greenish glazing of the door panels and forms a cohesive color composition. Such a combination of materials and colors — red brick, warm wood, turquoise-blue and green ceramics, and black metal — is characteristic of Art Nouveau or Neo-Gothic architectural styles from the late 19th to early 20th century.
