#4105. Fairy-tale Wooden Facade: Russian Art Nouveau in Vibrant Colors

This is a remarkable example of a richly decorated wooden house in traditional Russian style with Art Nouveau elements. The facade showcases a magnificent combination of yellow log walls with bright pink decorative elements, creating a striking color contrast. The structure has an asymmetrical composition with several turrets and tent roofs covered with metal scale-like roofing.

The architectural decor of the facade is distinguished by exceptionally detailed carved elements – window frames with diamond-shaped lattice, openwork cornices, fanciful brackets, and balustrades. Particularly eye-catching are the carved elements of the gables and especially the roof pediments with characteristic decorative trim panels executed in the traditions of Russian wooden architecture.

The two-story building has an expressive silhouette thanks to the vertical accents of the turrets and the diversity of roof forms. An open porch with decorative columns and carved railings leads to the second floor. The window openings have various sizes and shapes, adding dynamics and expressiveness to the facade.

This is an example of the so-called "Russian style" in architecture, popular in the late 19th - early 20th century, when folk motifs were reinterpreted in the context of Art Nouveau and used to create picturesque, fairy-tale images. The building is harmoniously integrated into the surrounding forest landscape, emphasizing its organic connection with nature.
