#2573. Red Facade with Bay Windows: Pension Maitilde and Its Expressive Corner Architecture

The photograph showcases a striking example of historical architecture — a corner building of "Pension Maitilde," distinguished by its expressive red facade elements. The structure features a special form with a rounded corner creating a smooth transition between two streets, a characteristic technique of urban architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century.

The main feature of the facade is the abundance of bay windows with traditional wooden frames painted in a rich red color, which contrasts with the white walls of the main building volume. These bay windows embrace the corner part of the building, creating a continuous ribbon element with a characteristic rhythm of windows. The window frames have an original form with rounded upper parts and form a harmonious composition.

Each floor of the building is equipped with balconies featuring elegant wrought iron railings, adding lightness and sophistication to the facade. The red wooden shutters on the windows of the central part maintain the overall color scheme. The cornices and other architectural details, also painted red, add special decorative value.

The composition is completed by a traditional tiled roof with a small decorative mansard element. The combination of historical details with bright color solutions makes this facade a memorable example of regional architecture, where functionality coexists with aesthetic expressiveness.
