#927. Pink Art Nouveau Facade with Two-Tiered Balconies

The photograph captures a magnificent example of historical urban architecture in a style close to Art Nouveau or Catalan Modernism. The facade of the building is executed in warm peachy-pink tones, creating a soft, harmonious appearance.

Compositionally, the facade is organized vertically, with two levels of balconies. The upper balcony is more compact, with an elegant wrought iron railing in a mint-green color, framing a semicircular platform. Of particular note are the decorative elements above the arched openings – the carved ornaments at the top of the frames lend the building a sophistication and testify to the high level of craftsmanship.

The lower balcony is more spacious, with large stained-glass windows framed by columns with ornamented capitals. The windows feature a characteristic division into small sections, typical of late 19th - early 20th century architecture. The wrought iron railings are also executed in a greenish shade, creating a unified ensemble with the upper balcony.

Special expressiveness is added to the facade by architectural details: the consoles under the balconies, decorative elements above the windows, and the fine workmanship of the wooden shutters. It is evident that the building maintains its historical authenticity, despite some signs of age. In front of the facade, a small tree with bare branches is visible, indicating that the photo was taken during winter or early spring.
