Eclectic Brick Facade with Contrasting White Decorative Elements

#5948. Eclectic Brick Facade with Contrasting White Decorative Elements

The photograph shows a historic urban building in an eclectic style with Neo-Renaissance elements. The facade of this four-story house is made of red brick with abundant use of white decorative elements. The facade is symmetrical, with expressive bay windows emphasizing its vertical articulation.

The facade is richly decorated with stucco work, particularly noticeable between floors and on the bay windows. The window openings have various shapes: on the upper floors they are arched, which is characteristic of Neo-Renaissance, while on the lower floors they are rectangular. The mansard roof with dormers gives the building additional height and expressiveness to its silhouette. The ground floor is designed as a rusticated base, painted white, creating a contrast with the main brick facade.

Special expressiveness is given to the facade by white decorative elements contrasting with the red brick. The stucco panels between floors contain ornamental motifs, while the cornices and window frames are richly profiled. The central entrance is emphasized by a portal recessed into the plane of the facade. The building is a characteristic example of European urban architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century, when eclecticism using historical styles was a popular architectural trend.
