#7279. Eclectic Mansion with Two-Tone Façade and Distinctive Tower Roof

The photograph showcases an exquisite example of architecture that combines elements of Art Nouveau and early 20th century eclecticism. The mansion features an asymmetrical composition and a variety of decorative elements.

The façade of the building demonstrates a characteristic Art Nouveau combination of different materials and textures. The left section is executed with horizontal strips of pinkish brick creating a rhythmic pattern, while the right section has a lighter, almost cream-colored finish. This duality emphasizes the complexity of the architectural concept.

Particularly expressive is the tower with a high hipped roof covered in gray slate, which gives the building a romantic, almost fairy-tale appearance. The decorative elements of the façade include arched windows, original window frames, elegant balcony railings, and ornamental brackets. The carefully crafted cornice of the building is also noteworthy.

The mansion is surrounded by a stone fence with metal gratings that harmoniously complements the overall architectural appearance. The combination of functionality and decorative qualities, characteristic of Art Nouveau architecture, transforms this house into a true work of art, where every detail of the façade is carefully considered and forms part of a unified artistic concept.
