History and description:
Built in 1905, this is the most delightful building of
the modern area of Barcelona, named also Casa Terrades.
Designing that building with some medieval
appearance, the architect Puig i
Cadafach was influenced by Nordic
style.
The façade was made in brick, and the ornaments around the windows and doors in
stone.
The big panels at the roof level were made in decorated ceramics,
showing a sun clock and other national Catalan
elements.
Following Permanyer, some of the artists working with the architect were: Alfons Juyol for the
sculptures in stone, Eudald Amigó for glasses, Enric Monserda for inside
ornamentation and Manuel Ballarin for the forged iron.
