Blue Façade of Russian Modern: Wooden Lace of Dacha Architecture

#863. Blue Façade of Russian Modern: Wooden Lace of Dacha Architecture

The image showcases an exquisite example of wooden architecture in the Russian dacha style from the late 19th - early 20th century, known as "Russian Modern" or "dacha style." The façade is painted in a vibrant blue color, creating a striking contrast with the snow-white decorative elements.

Particularly noteworthy is the rich woodcarving and ornamental details of the façade. This two-story building is adorned with delicate openwork decorations: carved valances, window frames, and balustrades executed in white. The window casings feature geometric patterns with diamond-shaped elements characteristic of this architectural style. Decorative pediments with openwork carvings are placed above the windows.

The façade is embellished with two levels of verandas featuring decorative balustrades. The upper balcony with its intricate railings and carved elements is especially distinctive. The building has a classic gabled roof with light-colored metal covering. Brown rainwater pipes are installed around the perimeter of the roof, harmoniously complementing the overall color composition.

The building is surrounded by greenery, emphasizing its dacha character and connection with the natural environment. The architectural appearance reflects the traditions of Russian wooden architecture with influences from European Art Nouveau, creating a unique and recognizable style.
