Name of house:
casa
perez samanillo (círculo ecuestre)
Address: C/ Balmes, 169; Diagonal, 502 - 504
Architect: Joan Josep Hervàs i Arizmendi and Raimon Durán
i Reynals
Building date: 1910; 1948 and 1991-1993
The facades
are planned eclectically and in a French style without forgetting elements
from modernism like the huge framed oval window of the dining room in
the mezzanine floor. This bay window is the protagonist of the building.
This building has not a door on the corner, the owners had an entrance
through a garden but this changed when the building was changed to apartments
to rent. In 1948 there were some changes and some more.
This building was isolated but it has to change when they added another
building. It is quite amazing and I can see the tourists take pictures
of it.
