#4821. White Facade with Arched Stained Glass Window and Decorative Owl Panel

The photograph captures a remarkable architectural element — an exquisite arched window with a semicircular top, which is part of a white building facade. The window is framed with a black contrasting border, creating a striking visual solution. Of particular interest is the decorative semicircular panel above the window, executed against a blue background, depicting an owl sitting on a branch with red berries and leaves.

The building facade is faced with textured white cladding that imitates tiles or scale-like covering, giving the structure tactility and an interplay of light and shadow. The window itself features stained glass in blue shades with an abstract floral pattern characteristic of Art Nouveau or Neo-Gothic styles. The white window frame with its cruciform division emphasizes the vertical composition.

Such attention to decorative details, the combination of functionality with artistic expressiveness, and the use of natural motifs in the design indicate the influence of Art Nouveau style, possibly with elements of Neo-Gothic. This architectural element demonstrates high-quality craftsmanship and serves as a bright accent of the entire facade.
