in #photography6 years ago

You can see the Gaudi's work all over the Barcelona and the city knows how to take advantage of big master's work. Casa Batllo is another masterpiece.

Casa Batllo from the outside. The weather was not perfect and the house doesn't show all its beauty.

The entry hallway. We got a device with headphones instead of a guide to follow the tour.

The main central part of the house is a big atrium.

The central ceramic fireplace with two benches and sunlight coming from above through the hidden window. And hot air circulating upward through hidden ducts.

The bottom of the atrium with rounded walls and corners and an elevator.

Atrium provides the even sunlight to the rooms on all levels of the house. Tiles are light blue at the bottom and dark blue at the top and windows are bigger at the bottom and smaller at the top.
Gaudi also designed a unique system of flaps on doors and under windows to maintain the same temperature all over the house through the year.

This was the tile part of the house. Tomorrow I'll show you more.

Have a great weekend, my friends.

Nice photos. Feels like walking inside Casa Batllos, patron ;)

as you say the house that meah seen the door masum and the room is explained with the air and sunlight, the stairs also look very extraordinary.

it's a beautiful collection of photographs.
I am very interested to see it.

but also very beautiful building his friends

Wow!!! What a unique and captivating house. The curvature of the different parts is stunning. I can only imagine the amount of time that went into creating that much detail. The picture from the outside makes you want to go in.

Such a beautiful house. I love the way you captured the atrium and the tiles along the staircase. Such unique design... I wonder what his architectural drawings looked like? I don't think he could just hand them to the contractor and say build this! Interesting about the temperature and natural lighting controls he built in to his designs!

This is from Wikipedia:

Gaudi rarely drew detailed plans. He preferred to create them as three-dimensional scale models and moulding the details as he conceived them.

That makes a lot of sense it looks like sculpture!

Both external and interior designs of this architecture is so amazing and great to see these pictures and some stuff of interior designs are really unique to watch and literally throwing that artistic essence and the add on value is, there were no guide and you'll provided with headphones and in my opinion it's really great initiative. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

Fotografije ostavljaju bez teksta. Na originalan način ste nam predstavili i dočarali ovo jedinstveno zdanje. Casa Batllo sa svojim oblicima, linijama, mozaicima, to je Gaudi. Način na koji je sve ukomponovano, keramika, kovano gvožđe, kamen, impresioniraju. Čovek mora da ima jaku percepciju da sagleda sve detalje. Nisam posetila Barselonu, i post doživljavam kao jedan od boljih promo materijala.
Da li je i svetlost, jedan od glavnih aduta Kuće? Hvala vam @oldtimer na deljenju edukativnog posta.

Barcelona is a well worth place to visit. The architecture there is amazing and a lot of religious building too.

I need to do more traveling! lol .. thanks for sharing @oldtimer :)

You definitely should. Thanks for stopping by.

I love how weird it is. Compared to most cookie cutter buildings it's fantastic.

I love his work and love this place such cool design and details’

I really like the design and architecture of the balcony. Design of tiles reminded me of the game candy crush.
"Atrium provides the even sunlight to the rooms on all levels of the house."- I think it is the best architecture for proper ventilation.
Have a great weekend.

I have to say the design of the place was amazing!

wonderful work!
