#4927. Early 20th Century Half-Timbered House with Polychrome Facade

The image showcases a striking example of a half-timbered house with a richly decorated facade. The building features a characteristic triangular roof with a steep pitch, typical of traditional Germanic architecture. The facade is painted in warm orange-terracotta tones and adorned with exquisite ornamental motifs in Art Nouveau style.

Particularly notable is the detailing of the decorative elements: elegant swirls, floral patterns, and geometric shapes in light blue, white, and red tones that contrast with the main wall color. The facade is divided into three levels, each with its unique decorative solution. The lower tier is painted in a more saturated orange color and decorated with a complex composition featuring floral motifs and stylized birds.

The windows are symmetrically positioned on the facade, framed with simple rectangular casings, creating an interesting contrast with the flowing lines of the ornament. On the gable, the date "MCMIV" (1904) is visible, indicating the period of construction or restoration of the building, which corresponds to the flourishing of Art Nouveau style in European architecture.

The house blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape of trees just beginning to be covered with spring foliage, which emphasizes the brightness and expressiveness of its facade. Elements of the drainage system, executed in blue, serve not only as functional elements but also as part of the overall composition of the facade.
