Historical Brick Facade with Arched Windows

#5784. Historical Brick Facade with Arched Windows

The image shows a fragment of a brick facade with two arched windows. The facade is made of red brick, which creates a warm terracotta tone and traditional masonry texture. The architectural composition demonstrates classic elements of industrial or historical civil architecture.

The windows have a semi-circular (arched) shape with radial brick masonry forming the arches. The bricks in the arch lintels are laid with a slight protrusion relative to the main wall plane, creating plasticity and an interplay of light and shadow on the facade. The white metal window frames have a characteristic division with radial elements in the upper arched part and a rectangular grid in the lower section. The windows are protected by metal grilles that repeat the geometry of the window frames, indicating a functional approach while maintaining aesthetic integrity.

At the bottom of the facade, a gray stone or concrete base is visible, which is typical for buildings of this type and creates a visual foundation for the structure. This architectural element not only serves a decorative function but also provides additional protection for the lower part of the facade from environmental impacts.

This type of facade solution is characteristic of industrial buildings from the late 19th to early 20th century, often found in the architecture of factory buildings or public buildings from that period, which today may be reconstructed for modern functions while preserving their historical value and authenticity.
