#8964. Art Nouveau facade with lavish botanical decor in patinated metal

Before us is an outstanding example of Art Nouveau architecture, showcasing exquisite work with decorative facade elements. The central accent of the building is the luxurious window framing with lavish sculptural decor made of patinated copper or bronze, imitating organic plant forms — a characteristic technique of the Art Nouveau style.

The facade is constructed from light brown brick, creating an expressive contrast with the greenish metallic decorative elements. Particularly impressive is the central window with its rich ornamental framing, where sculptural forms resembling leaves and flowers literally envelop the window opening, creating the sensation that nature is growing through the architecture.

Balconies with elegant wrought iron railings complement the composition, emphasizing the rhythm of the facade and adding airiness. The upper part of the building is crowned with a decorative cornice and balustrade, which gives completeness to the overall composition. Small columns in the upper part of the central bay window with Corinthian capitals add a classical element to the predominantly modernist aesthetic.

For contemporary private construction, several techniques can be borrowed from this facade: the use of contrasting materials (brick and metal), accentuating the central part of the facade with decorative window framing, applying openwork metal railings for balconies, as well as playing with the relief of the facade to create depth and expressive light and shadow effects.
