BARCELONA | Casa Planells


During the BCN Open House of this year, we had the chance to visti this beautiful house located in Avinguda Diagonal. The building was designed by Josep Maria Jujol, one of the great masters of  Catalan Modernsm and a close collaborator of the most renowned one: Antoni Gaudì, for whom Jujol designed the famous serpentine balauster of Parc Güell and the façade of Casa Batllò among others. The project dates back to 1923-24 and was supposed to be quite larger but had to be reduced because of budget reasons. Still, the Catalan architect managed to create a special space, austere in structure but precious in the details. The house is now a architecture office.
