#3119. Georgian Brick Facade with Arched Colonnade and Chinese Motifs

The building shown in the image is a magnificent example of a modern interpretation of Georgian architecture with elements of classicism. The facade is made of warm-toned red brick, which gives the structure both respectability and homely comfort.

Particularly expressive on the facade are two tall brick chimneys with decorative tops, which are not only functional but also serve as vertical accents, balancing the horizontal lines of the building. The front part of the first floor is designed with a series of arched openings, creating a rhythmic colonnade, which is characteristic of the neoclassical tradition.

The second floor is adorned with an elegant balcony featuring white railings in Chinese style (characteristic "Chinese Chippendale" motif), which adds lightness and a certain sophistication to the facade. The windows are framed with contrasting black shutters, enhancing the expressiveness of the window openings against the brickwork.

The elaborate cornice with classical modillions deserves special attention, separating the main part of the facade from the roof. Semi-circular dormer windows with radial muntins complete the composition, bringing an element of grace to the strict facade. The landscaping at the base of the building gently integrates the architecture into the surrounding landscape.
