#6041. Yellow Art Nouveau façade with distinctive stucco and arched window

The façade represents a beautiful example of Art Nouveau architecture. The building is characterized by an asymmetrical composition and expressive decorative elements. Particular attention is drawn to the central semi-circular window on the second floor, framed by exquisite stucco with smooth, flowing forms characteristic of the Art Nouveau style.

The façade is painted in yellow, which emphasizes the gray stone elements and decorative molding. The lower floor is designed in a heavier style with rectangular windows protected by grilles and stone cladding. The upper floors feature lighter and more elegant forms. Note the contrast between the strict vertical lines of the window frames and the smooth, organic forms of the stucco decoration.

Especially notable is the use of various materials in the design — stone, brick, and plaster, which creates an interesting textural contrast. The arched window with brick inserts forms a focal point of the façade and demonstrates the virtuosity of architects of that period in combining functionality and decorative qualities.
