Les Escales Park is a residential complex with a cubic look and heir to Le Corbusier’s work. Its geometric style contrasts with the vegetation that surrounds the property.

  • Urban spaces

The Les Escales Park residential complex was designed in 1967 by Josep M. Sert and Jackson & Associates and was built (partly in 1973) on a few plots of Güell land. These plots of land were formerly known as ‘Can Duran de les Escales’. The name ‘Les Escales’ [the Stairs] probably came from the uneven and steeply sloping ground the house was situated on, requiring the building of stepped terraces so the land could be exploited for dryland farming. The current name of the residential group reflects this old term. This complex is an example of the Pedralbes neighbourhood’s high-level architecture, where there is a large number single-family dwellings and blocks of flats built. These sprung up under the area’s various partial plans, promoted by owners’ associations created at the end of the 1960s.

Observacions

El conjunt residencial de Les Escales Park va ser projectat el 1967 per Sert i Jackson & Associates, i construït (en part l'any 1973) sobre uns terrenys propietat dels Güell i que antigament constituïen la finca anomenada Can Duran de les Escales.

Representen un dels exponents de l'arquitectura d'alt nivell del barri de Pedralbes, on proliferen habitatges unifamiliars i blocs de pisos construïts a partir de diversos plans parcials de la zona impulsats per les associacions de propietaris creades cap a final dels anys seixanta del segle XX.
