The building presented is a striking example of architecture from the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, combining elements of Art Nouveau and eclecticism. The facade demonstrates a carefully crafted composition with decorative elements characteristic of its era. Particularly expressive are the ornate wrought iron balconies with geometric patterns, creating elegant protruding accents on the wall surface.
The upper part of the building features a distinctive attic space with a decorative pediment and wooden decor elements in the form of sun rays — a typical motif for Art Nouveau. The facade is designed in two shades: a light beige main wall color complemented by a darker color scheme for the base and architectural elements.
Notable is the combination of functional and decorative elements — window openings with simple frames coexist with elegant wrought iron details of balconies and fencing. This creates an interesting rhythmic pattern and hierarchy in the perception of the facade. Modern elements, such as the air conditioner, appear foreign on the historical facade.
When designing a contemporary house, one could borrow the idea of combining different textures and materials, using wrought iron elements to add elegance, as well as thoughtful vertical zoning of the facade, where the base, main part, and pediment are designed differently, creating a cohesive yet diverse composition.
