BELLESGUARD HOUSE
By Antonio GAUDÍ

Gaudí designed a neo-Gothic project, respecting the previous building as much as possible. As always, he sought to integrate the architecture into the surrounding natural setting, so he built the building with the local slate stone. The building has a square floor plan and a height of 19.5 m. Its corners face the four cardinal points. Built with stone and brick, it has much more vertical projection, aided by a truncated cone tower crowned with the four-armed cross typical of Gaudí, together with the Catalan flag and a royal crown.

The house has a basement, first floor, main floor and attic, with a hipped roof. The ceilings of the rooms are built with the technique called Catalan vaulting, consisting of different layers of brick overlapping. The mosaics, drawn by Domingo Sugrañes, together with the wrought iron, add fantasy to the building. The two exterior benches -made in ‘trencadís’- style show simbology about the King Martin I and sea battles and the crown destiny. - BELLESGUARD GAUDI's BENCH by SUGRAÑES - Buy Royalty Free 3D model by the dragon 3d (@thedragon3d)
