#2668. Modernist Blue Portal on Brick Facade: Geometric Eclecticism

Before us stands an expressive facade of a brick building with a unique decorative portal executed in blue tones. The facade represents an interesting example of eclecticism, combining elements of Art Nouveau and Art Deco with traditional brick architecture.

The central element of the composition is a three-arched portal with characteristic pointed arches, framed by columns made of glazed blue tiles with a ribbed surface. Above the arches is an impressive decorative frieze of blue bricks arranged in a geometric pattern with prominent diamond motifs.

Of particular interest is the contrast between the warm red-brick foundation of the building and the cool blue accents of the portal. The craftsmanship is evident in the meticulously executed geometric pattern of blue bricks, creating a mosaic effect. The architect skillfully used various bricklaying techniques and material textures to create visual and textural contrast.

The entrance group is designed as a dark double door with glass inserts, emphasizing the depth of the arched opening. At the base of the arches, a neat brick pavement can be seen, harmoniously completing the composition of the entrance area.
