Refined Art Nouveau Bay Window: Façade with Scale-Patterned Dome and Decorative Stucco

#2441. Refined Art Nouveau Bay Window: Façade with Scale-Patterned Dome and Decorative Stucco

The photograph captures a fragment of an elegant Art Nouveau (Modernisme) building façade. The distinctive feature is a bay window with rich decorative elements. The façade is executed in light beige tones with abundant stucco and ornamental elements.

Of particular note is the domed top of the bay window, covered with tiles arranged in a decorative pattern of alternating blue and beige scales. This finishing gives the upper part of the structure the appearance of a precious jewelry box. The arched opening in the upper part of the bay window is framed by an elegant white molding, which harmoniously blends with the overall stylistic approach of the building.

The central window of the bay has an elongated form and is adorned with a dark blue stained glass, creating a striking contrast with the light-colored façade. On both sides of the window are decorative stucco elements with floral motifs and cartouches. The balcony beneath the bay window is framed by wrought iron railings with the fluid pattern characteristic of Art Nouveau style.

The façade demonstrates the typical Art Nouveau architectural aspiration toward plasticity of forms, asymmetry, and the use of natural motifs in decoration. The building's windows are equipped with green shutters, adding coloristic diversity to the exterior appearance of the structure. Overall, the composition of the façade reflects the characteristic Art Nouveau combination of functionality and artistic expressiveness.
