Last Friday our class took a tour of Casa Batllo, one of Gaudi's most beautiful works. Located on Passage de Gracia, it looks as modern as it did in 1906 when it was completed. The projects is a little strange as it was built as a mansion with flats located on the upper floors. The mansion is now a museum, but the flats are still occupied. I can't imagine being lucky enough to live here...but all the tourists in your hall all day would get a little old. These pictures can explain the project better than I can:
Batllo's facade next to Casa Amatller's more Gothic face
The ceiling of Batllo's main drawing room
Interesting curved doorways from the main drawing room to neighboring rooms
The beautiful windows in the drawing room
The attic's halls are much like being inside an animal's skeleton
The door from the roof to the interesting "dragon's belly" room
