Well-to-do businessmen were eager to show off their status by commissioning fashionable <a href=\"https:\/\/qa-dosde.qamoon.es\/en\/modernisme\/\">architects of Catalan Modernism<\/a> with the construction of large houses on the emblematic boulevard.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 1903, one of these industrialists, Josep Batll\u00f3, acquired a property built in 1877 by Emili Salas Cort\u00e8s, who happened to be one of Antoni Gaud\u00ed\u2019s former teachers. The dullness of the work, however, contrasted greatly with the spectacular nature of its neighbouring Casa Amatller, designed by Puig i Cadafalch, and, in 1904, <strong>Batll\u00f3 decided to call on the services of Gaud\u00ed, who at the age of 52 was at his most popular<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At first, Batll\u00f3 suggested demolishing the former building and constructing one of new ground plan, but <strong>the architect convinced him to maintain its structure and carry out a total refurbishment instead<\/strong>, adding two more levels (one storey more and an attic) and to completely redo the fa\u00e7ade, the central patio well, the ground floor and main floor, where the Batll\u00f3 family\u2019s apartment would be. These were the origins of Casa Batll\u00f3, today an icon of Modernisme in Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The fa\u00e7ade of Casa Batll\u00f3<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/qa-dosde.qamoon.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/fachada-casa-batllo-gaudi-barcelona-dosde-publishing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-785 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/qa-dosde.qamoon.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/fachada-casa-batllo-gaudi-barcelona-dosde-publishing.jpg\" alt=\"Fa\u00e7ade of Casa Batll\u00f3 by Antoni Gaud\u00ed\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Antoni Gaud\u00ed employed all his creative and technical genius when renovating Casa Batll\u00f3, but especially on the main fa\u00e7ade as he wanted to hold on to the original structure while at the same time concoct something totally unique. <strong>He therefore created plaster models which he himself sculpted until achieving the desired effect<\/strong> and then personally oversaw the putting into place of the ceramic plaques and trencad\u00eds work on Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The result is an architectural <strong>style that cleverly combines surprising shapes and intense colours that exude a pleasant sensation of movement<\/strong> throughout the Casa Batll\u00f3 building. As Gaud\u00ed was such a keen observer of nature, he combined materials such as stone, glass, ceramic work and iron, in such a way that when the sun struck the fa\u00e7ade, a poetic and warm play of light and shadow would be evoked. As with other works by the architect, the fa\u00e7ade of Casa Batll\u00f3 has been interpreted in many different ways.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It has been likened to the Mediterranean Ocean or the Mountain of Montserrat. Others have gone so far as to say that it is a metaphor of carnival time. Then there are those who only refer to it as \u201cthe house of bones\u201d, for the bone-like hollows and columns on the rostrum. However, without a doubt, one of the closest interpretations is the one that compares the fa\u00e7ade with Claude Monet\u2019s water lily paintings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dosde.com\/en\/books\/casa-batllo.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3643 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/qa-dosde.qamoon.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Boton-descubrir-mas-EN.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"56\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The vestibule<\/h2>\n<p>Once inside the Casa Batll\u00f3, <strong>the general vestibule, of gentle shape and bluish tones, organises and directs the traffic flow up to the different residences<\/strong> in the building by means of different staircases, a private one for the owners and another for the tenants.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This cave-like space, with rectangular ground plan and curved ceilings includes the caretaker\u2019s lodge, a few storerooms and leads directly up to the private hall of the flat on the main floor.

From the functional point of view, <strong>Gaud\u00ed plans the attic as a protection chamber for the building and it is also used as service quarters<\/strong>. He constructs it by using a series of catenary arches, solely built with brickwork, which are plastered over and support the ceiling vaults, which the roof terrace rests on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This simple but rather<strong> ingenious structural device<\/strong>, which the architect applied in various projects such as the Teresian College and later on in La Pedrera, generates a flowing, spacious, continuous area with great, thought-provoking power that seems to <strong>take its inspiration from the rib cage of an animal<\/strong>, which has also given rise to an interpretation that likens the attic to the inside of a dragon, whose scales are recreated on the Gaud\u00edan Casa Batll\u00f3\u2019s rooftop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The roof terrace<\/h2>\n<p>[metaslider id=1285]<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Casa Batll\u00f3\u2019s roof terrace,\u00a0 Gaud\u00ed gives free rein to his imagination<\/strong> and uses all his creativity to transform this space, which at the start of the twentieth century was hardly taken into account when planning a building, into a universe of forms, <strong>silhouettes and original textures, which transcend architecture<\/strong> to become sculptural pieces of great artistic merit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the poetic value of the terrace, the architect defines the functional aspect of this area of the house by organising the floor and its elements in a logical way, and offering rational solutions for the different requirements of the space. Thus, Gaud\u00ed puts two stairwells, four groups of chimneys and ventilation shafts and a small attic below the terrace, all of the latter are <strong>covered in delicately coloured trencad\u00eds work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With total aesthetic freedom, these sculptural works are given curved, ductile and organic forms, inspired by the laws of nature, which the attractive and surprising universe of Antoni Gaud\u00ed revolves around.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>A book to enjoy Casa Batll\u00f3 as you have never seen in before<\/h2>\n<p>The originality of Casa Batll\u00f3 never fails to surprise despite the fact that\u00a0110 years have now passed since its creation.
