#4518. Expressive Facade with Red Door and Checkerboard Tiling

The photograph captures an expressive portal of a residential building with a vibrant red entrance door, framed by a brick arch. The door serves as the central element of the composition — arched, with decorative wrought iron work behind glass and clear geometric lines. Its rich red color creates a strong contrast with the surrounding red brick masonry.

The facade features an interesting color scheme: the wall around the door is tiled in a checkerboard pattern of green and red colors, giving the entrance group a special decorative quality. The brick arch above the door is executed with traditional radial brickwork, culminating in a decorative keystone. Ornamental light-colored stone elements are placed on both sides of the arch.

The composition is complemented by a window opening with a flower box containing bright red flowers that echo the color of the door. At the base of the entrance, a flower pot with a compact plant is installed, adding liveliness to the overall picture. A white stone foundation serves as a plinth, separating the brickwork from ground level.

This facade represents an interesting example of urban architecture where traditional materials combine with bright color accents to create a memorable and welcoming entrance to the building.
