Casa Batlló

Gaudí’s remodeling of a Barcelona house, mainly from 1904 to 1906, is renowned for a facade evoking bone and skin.

Trencadís mosaic, organic windows, and a spine-like roofline animate the street elevation.

Daylighting and color gradients in the inner court reveal the transformative power of renovation.

It is an accessible introduction to Catalan Modernisme in the city.
