Before us is a magnificent example of Art Nouveau architecture, presented as a rounded corner façade of a building. The façade features exceptionally rich and plastic decoration characteristic of this early 20th-century style. Particular attention is drawn to the exquisite stucco work that covers almost the entire surface of the façade.
The building has a cylindrical shape at the corner section with an expressive balcony with wrought iron railings at the lower level. Vertical decorative elements organically emphasize the height of the structure, creating a sense of upward aspiration. The façade is adorned with numerous sculptural elements featuring plant motifs, masks, and other decorative details typical of Art Nouveau style.
The window openings are framed by elegant curvilinear forms that smoothly transition into the overall composition of the façade. The crowning cornice is also richly decorated and has a characteristic openwork parapet. The sandy color of the façade emphasizes the volumetric plasticity of the decorative elements, creating an interplay of light and shadow. This is an excellent example of how Art Nouveau architecture sought to combine constructive logic with the plastic possibilities of decorative art.
