Casa Batllo

Casa Batllo

Casa Batllo, built from 1904 to 1906 in Barcelona, Spain was a project meant to renovate large residence belonging to Senor Batllo. This particular piece of architecture, in which Gaudi demonstrates his most creative period, Naturalism dating from 1895 to 1916, is filled with elements of nature, particularly influences that resemble the sea. What makes this piece of architecture and others within this period significant is his vision to stray from lines and patterns traditionally found in architecture. He chooses to allow the elements of his architecture to flow breaking away from straight lines and planes typically found in architecture. This is demonstrated in the interior of the residence by its curved ceilings and fireplace.
