Before us stands an outstanding example of wooden architecture in the Russian Art Nouveau style with elements of lavish carved decor. The building is executed in a turquoise-blue palette with abundant white decorative elements, creating a festive, almost fairy-tale appearance.
The mansion's facade is richly adorned with intricate woodcarving characteristic of wooden Art Nouveau from the late 19th to early 20th century. Particularly expressive are the openwork cornices, window casings, and decorative elements of the pediments. The windows are framed with skillfully crafted white casings featuring elaborate carvings that give the building special elegance and airiness.
The complex roof structure with its tall tent-shaped top crowned by a decorative spire deserves special attention. The multi-pitched roof with ornate dormer windows and sharp gables creates a dynamic, upward-reaching silhouette. The architectural composition is complemented by bay windows with patterned pediments, enhancing the picturesqueness of the volume.
The contrast between the blue wall cladding and snow-white decor emphasizes the plasticity of the facade and reveals the depth of the carved elements. Overall, the building represents a superb example of "wooden lace," demonstrating the high craftsmanship of Russian carpenters and woodcarvers.
