#4072. Carved facade of a Siberian wooden house with traditional white window frames

The photograph showcases an exquisite example of traditional Russian wooden architecture – a two-story house with a richly decorated facade. Particularly striking are the elaborate carved window frames painted in white, creating a bold contrast against the dark wooden log structure. Each window is framed with skillfully carved details featuring elements characteristic of Russian wooden architecture, crowned with decorative "coronets" at the top.

The building's facade displays a clear rhythmic pattern created by the uniform arrangement of window openings across two tiers. Each window frame is a genuine work of art with finely detailed ornamental motifs. The architectural composition of the facade is complemented by a red gutter system that functionally and visually divides the extended front of the building.

The winter setting adds a special atmosphere to the photograph – snow in the foreground and bare tree branches on the left create a sense of traditional Russian winter, emphasizing the authenticity of the architectural style. This specimen demonstrates the high craftsmanship of folk artisans and the importance of preserving the cultural heritage of Russian wooden architecture.
