Before us stands a magnificent example of French classical architecture, presumably dating back to the 18th century. The façade demonstrates impeccable mastery of Baroque-Classical style with a symmetrical composition, which was characteristic of official and aristocratic buildings of that era.
The central part of the façade features three majestic arched windows with semicircular tops, framed by elegant stucco and decorative elements. Between the windows are sculptural compositions creating a rhythmic alternation of vertical accents. The richly decorated cornice and balustrade in front of the windows with delicate wrought iron railings add particular refinement to the overall appearance.
The detailing of the façade is impressive: medallions above each arched opening, garlands, cartouches, and other decorative elements create a rich yet harmonious composition. The building is crowned with a characteristic classical attic featuring a heraldic shield in the center, emphasizing the prestigious status of the building.
When designing the façade of your own home, you can borrow some techniques from this architectural masterpiece: symmetry of the main elements, the use of arched windows to create solemnity, decorative stucco (albeit on a more modest scale), and a thoughtful combination of stonework with decorative inserts. Modern technologies allow recreating such aesthetics using more accessible materials.
