Casa Comalat
Download date: 26/09/2024
Heavily influenced by the organic forms in Gaudí's work, the architect Salvador Valeri i Pupurull made curves the main feature of Casa Comalat.

Cultural heritage
The legacy of Gaudí’s universe
Salvador Valeri conceived this building as an organic whole, where there was no room for straight lines. On the Diagonal side it is stone that dignifies the monochrome main facade, elegantly decorated with garlands and other sculpted features. The finish of the top part, with a tower covered in green glazed ceramic scales, is striking and adds the only touch of colour on this facade.
Losing its shape
Casa Comalat adopts a completely different look on Carrer de Còrsega, however. The bulging facade looks as if it has been inflated and barely fits between the buildings on either side. It is decorated in polychrome ceramic mosaics by the artist Lluís Bru i Salelles, and covered by wooden galleries that draw uneven lines and give it a strange appearance. On the ground floor, the parabolic arches and organic treatment of the stone once again hark back to Gaudí.
