This façade represents a magnificent example of early Art Nouveau decorative style integrated into historical architecture. The white stone façade of the building serves as a perfect background for the richly decorated ornamental band that runs horizontally between the floors. Particularly expressive are the detailed bas-reliefs and stucco in the form of cartouches, floral motifs, and geometric elements in golden and greenish tones.
The window openings are designed with special care — the upper windows with dark gray frames look strict and restrained, while the lower row of windows is framed by decorative elements that emphasize the vertical composition. The frieze below the lower row of windows with a repeating Greek ornament adds a classical note to the building and reinforces the horizontal articulation.
This façade solution demonstrates how decorative elements can transform the simple geometry of a building, creating an expressive architectural appearance. When designing the façade of your own house, it's worth paying attention to the possibility of using contrasting materials, decorative inserts between floors, and expressive window framing to create an individual character for the structure.
