I am glad I got to see this in person, if you love design and creativity this will not disappoint.
Detail of the space over a doorway.
From one side it looks muted, when you enter the room and look back the light coming through illuminates the whole beauty!
Light fitting
Tried to get a shot of the ceiling. It swirls towards the centre of the room like water going down a drain.
The finish on the columns is hand painted, made to look scaly.
The colours!!! Seriously I swoon when I remember how exquisite this place is.
A light fitting....I could see this in my home very easily.
Detail of the mosaic work....hours of artistry.
You can access the roof top terrace and see the capping tiles.
These were covered in glass mosaic tiles, some neutral in colour others very bright.
The thing about this work is of course it wont fade in the harsh Spanish sun and doesnt need painting each year or so.
However I would imagine there would be some maintenance but these are nearly 100 years old!!!
I hope you enjoyed the beauty.
Oh my Gaudi!! The thing that boggles my brain is that not only did his mind think of these amazing designs but also that they were actually made. All that excellent craftsmanship. And the time it must have taken. mind bloggle overload!
