Mint-green Catalan Modernisme facade: asymmetry and decorative elegance

#2043. Mint-green Catalan Modernisme facade: asymmetry and decorative elegance

This mansion is a magnificent example of Catalan Modernisme (Art Nouveau), painted in a characteristic mint green color. The building's facade features an asymmetrical composition with exquisite decorative elements and smooth, organic forms typical of the Art Nouveau style.

The architectural solution of the facade includes wave-like parapets and curvilinear outlines of the upper part of the building. Particularly noteworthy are the decorative elements framing the windows — they are executed in a light color, creating a contrast with the main green background. The windows are framed with blue elements, adding expressiveness to the facade.

Decorative ceramic bands with ornamental motifs run along the perimeter of the facade, executed in Mediterranean tradition. Vertical pilasters with capitals emphasize the structure of the building and lend it elegance. The composition is crowned by an openwork metal railing at the top, complementing the overall artistic image.

Despite some signs of wear, the building retains its original charm and is a vivid example of a regional interpretation of the Art Nouveau style, where functionality and aesthetics characteristic of Catalan architecture of the early 20th century are combined.
