Riga Style: Portraits, Masks, and Towering Gables

Art Nouveau apartment building on a tree-lined avenue in a Baltic city, with a light blue and white stucco facade that extends upwards into a towering and exaggerated gable. At the top of the gable stand two giant female head sculptures. The window lintels feature a row of stone masks and lion heads with various expressions, and on either side of the entrance are caryatids supporting balconies. The design is highly dramatic, yet all sculptures are integrated into the facade's proportions. Avoid: sculptures scattered randomly without composition, strong Southern European sunlight and saturated colors, classical temple pediment, dark and old facade colors.

波羅的海城市一條林蔭大道上的新藝術公寓,立面是淡藍與白色的灰泥,向上延伸成一面高聳而誇張的山牆,山牆頂端站著兩尊巨大的女性頭像雕塑,窗楣上是一排表情各異的石雕面具與獅子頭,門口兩側是撐起陽台的人像柱。戲劇性強,但所有雕塑都整合在立面的比例裡。避免:雕塑隨意散布而沒有構圖、使用南歐的強烈陽光與飽和色、做成古典的神殿山花、立面顏色灰暗陳舊。
