This is a magnificent example of traditional Russian wooden architecture with Art Nouveau elements, presented as a two-story building with rich decorative features. The façade demonstrates a masterful combination of a brick first floor with a wooden second floor, creating an interesting contrast of materials and textures.
The upper wooden floor is adorned with exquisite carvings and openwork details – the so-called "pierced carving" typical of Russian wooden architecture. Particular attention is drawn to the richly decorated cornice with decorative trim and filigree elements that create a lace-like effect. The window openings of the upper floor are framed with decorative platbands with figured finials, giving the façade rhythm and expressiveness.
The corner part of the building is designed as a bay window with panoramic windows and crowned with a decorative dome-turret, which adds a vertical accent to the composition. The gable is also adorned with an elegant decorative element with a carved pattern resembling a kokoshnik (traditional Russian headdress element in architecture).
The first floor is made of red brick with rhythmically arranged windows, creating a solid foundation for the lighter and more openwork second floor. This combination of materials is a traditional technique in Russian architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, providing not only aesthetic appeal but also practicality: the stone first floor is more resistant to external influences.
For modern house building, several techniques can be borrowed: contrasting combination of materials (stone/brick with wood), use of decorative carving elements to emphasize architectural details, design of corner bay windows to create expressive accents, as well as decorative framing of window openings, giving the façade individuality.
