This majestic facade of building No. 209 represents an excellent example of eclectic architecture with neoclassical elements. The central entrance is designed with particular attention to detail and demonstrates a high level of facade design characteristic of historic urban buildings from the early 20th century.
The semicircular arch above the entrance deserves special attention, adorned with white dentils and a magnificent gilded tympanum featuring floral ornamentation. At the center of the tympanum is an oval medallion – a classic architectural technique that gives the composition completeness. On both sides of the entrance group are decorative columns with gilded finishes that support small capitals with Corinthian motifs.
The double wooden doors with glazing harmoniously fit into the overall composition. They are painted in a warm brown color, creating a pleasant contrast with the pale olive walls of the building. The entrance is emphasized by a wide staircase with a purple-brown covering, adding solemnity to the facade.
On either side of the central entrance are round decorative rosette windows with stained glass elements, which enhance the symmetry of the composition. The decorative elements flanking the entrance and neatly trimmed shrubs in planters complete the image of this meticulously designed facade.
In modern house construction, similar techniques can be adapted to create an expressive entrance: the use of arched elements, symmetrical arrangement of decorative details, contrasting color combinations, and proper use of landscaping can help give individuality even to a standard project.
