#3330. Turquoise Carved Façade: A Masterpiece of Russian Wooden Art Nouveau

The photograph showcases a charming example of wooden architecture in the style of Russian wooden Art Nouveau or the so-called "Russian pattern work." The building features rich decorative elements and a vibrant color scheme – the deep turquoise-blue walls create a striking contrast with the white carved ornamental details.

The façade is adorned with exquisite lace-like woodcarving featuring geometric and floral motifs. The upper part of the building with its tower and spire deserves special attention, decorated with intricate carved elements. The multi-level roof with decorative dormers and finely detailed cornices creates a unique silhouette for the structure.

The wooden porch with turned balusters and carved supports emphasizes the stylistic unity of the building. The façade windows are framed with decorative casings and carved elements that create a rich interplay of light and shadow. The woodcarving characteristic of late 19th - early 20th century Russian wooden architecture highlights the national character of this architectural work.
