#2014. Eclectic Facade with Terracotta Lattice and Ornamental Friezes

The image showcases an expressive fragment of a building facade in an eclectic style with elements of neoclassicism and Art Nouveau. The upper part of the facade is adorned with a terracotta lattice featuring oval openings, creating an intricate silhouette against the bright blue sky.

The facade composition is divided into several horizontal levels. Below the terracotta lattice is a decorative band with relief ornaments in the form of stylized floral motifs. Further down is a row of arched elements forming a frieze with characteristic semicircular recesses. This architectural technique creates a rhythmic play of light and shadow.

The lower part of the frame shows two windows with wooden blinds (or roller shutters), separated by a vertical white strip. Above the windows are elegant decorative elements in the form of stylized floral scrolls. The color palette of the facade is built on the contrast of an ochre-yellow wall base with white decorative elements and terracotta accents.

Such rich decorative design is characteristic of buildings from the late 19th to early 20th century, when architects often drew inspiration from historical styles, creatively reinterpreting them and supplementing them with new decorative solutions.
