1922 Modernist Facade: Turquoise and White Gateway with Decorative Parapet

#2524. 1922 Modernist Facade: Turquoise and White Gateway with Decorative Parapet

The image shows a characteristic example of an architectural entrance design for a residential complex dated 1922 (as indicated by the numbers in the oval medallion at the top of the facade). This is an expressive example of early 20th century modernist architecture with Art Deco elements.

The facade is designed as a decorative white wall with an elegant curvilinear top and is accentuated with turquoise details. Compositionally, it is symmetrical, with a central opening leading to a staircase, and two lateral oval niches containing green metal grilles and vegetation. This creates an interesting contrast between the architectural structure and living greenery.

The upper part of the facade is adorned with a decorative element characteristic of that period—a wave-like parapet with a central medallion indicating the year "1922." The color scheme of the facade builds on a combination of white background with turquoise and green accents, which is typical for Mediterranean architecture.

Beyond the facade, there's a perspective view of a residential quarter, showing various building levels that create a sense of terraced space. The staircase visible in the central opening emphasizes the vertical organization of space and connects different levels of the complex.

This architectural element serves not only as a functional entrance but also as a distinctive calling card of the residential complex, demonstrating attention to detail and aesthetics in the design of even utilitarian elements of the urban environment.
