Before us is an elegant example of colonial architecture with a characteristic window in a light-colored facade. The window opening presents a complex composition with an arched top, decorated with fan-shaped elements - transoms in the form of a half-open fan. The central transom is larger than the side ones, creating a harmonious rhythm.
The window has a dark contrasting color (likely dark blue or black) against the snow-white wall, emphasizing its architectural significance. The louvered shutters with horizontal slats provide not only aesthetic appeal but also functionality - protection from the sun and ventilation in hot climates.
Below the window is a decorative balustrade belt with turned balusters in classical style. The facade is also adorned with cornices and dentils (tooth-like projections) in the upper part, adding elegance to the building and emphasizing its status.
Such techniques can be adapted for modern house construction: contrasting design of window openings, the use of arched tops with decorative elements, application of functional shutters or their imitations, as well as decorative balustrades under windows to give the facade classical nobility.
