Façade

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.
