Before us is an exquisite example of Art Nouveau architecture, where the corner façade of the building is complemented with an unusual detail – a decorative element in the shape of a ship. The building is constructed from yellow brick, creating a warm golden hue that contrasts beautifully with the turquoise-green metallic elements.
Particular attention is drawn to the corner bay window with glass panes in metal frames, transitioning into a semicircular balcony. Below the bay window is a striking architectural element – the bow of a ship, executed in white with features characteristic of a sea vessel: a stem, hull planking, and even decorative red medallions with the letter "R" on the sides. This unusual decorative element not only gives the building uniqueness but also adds a narrative quality, as if telling a story about the sea and voyages.
The façade of the building demonstrates characteristic Art Nouveau features such as flowing lines, asymmetry, and decorative elements. The arched windows of the first floor, framed by brickwork, create a rhythm that is disrupted and enriched by the vertical accent of the corner solution. The delicate metal elements of the balcony railings add lightness and elegance to the façade, typical of the Art Nouveau style of the early 20th century.
