I like the ingenuity of the architect who used simple bricks in order to suggest elaborate columns sustaining ogee arches, pertaining to what I call the inter-war Venetian style, a peculiar architectural design popular in 1930s Bucharest. The house also contains Art Deco motifs and the brick columns display, in my opinion, a synthesis between the inter-war Venetian and Art Deco styles.
