#7037. Neoclassical town house facade with wrought iron elements and rustication

The elegant noble facade of building number 10 represents an excellent example of neoclassical architecture. The facade is made of light-colored stone, giving the structure a refined, noble appearance. The central entrance is framed by a majestic arch with a decorative cartouche bearing the house number. Above the entrance is a balustrade parapet, adding solemnity to the building and creating a horizontal rhythm.

The window openings with semi-circular tops, framed by wrought iron grilles of intricate design, deserve special attention. The glass doors of the main entrance are adorned with geometric metal ornaments, which add both strictness and sophistication to the facade. The rusticated masonry of the lower part of the facade creates a sense of solidity and emphasizes the classical proportions of the building.

When designing a facade for a private home, many elements of this style can be adapted: symmetrical arrangement of windows, decorative elements above the entrance, use of rustication or its imitation, balustrades as finishing elements. Even in a modern house, such classical details can add nobility and architectural value to the exterior. Also noteworthy is the thoughtful accessibility solution — the entrance is equipped with a ramp with railings and a sign for people with disabilities.
