Škarka Villa

Academic principles, romantic spirit, historic motifs, tinges of modern ideas and art deco surface treatment are recognized in the design of the main street facade of the building.

The flat surface of the floor is in contrast to the rustic treatment of the lower part with gable motifs, diamond cubes very close to Czech Cubism, and windows completed with blind arcades.

The floor is dominated by romantic trifora filled with floral, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic motifs, placed between modernist treated window openings without special emphasis.

The motif of the pointed arch and Baroque volutas is repeated on the monumental entrance gate, whose doors are resolved in the form of a very decoratively treated metal grille.

Unlike most of his contemporaries, Dragiša Brašovan also paid special attention to the less prominent facades, achieving the unity of the overall appearance of the building in morphological and stylistic terms.
