Casa Bloc, Rationalist residential building in Sant Andreu, Spain
Casa Bloc consists of five connected blocks forming an S-shape structure, containing 207 apartments designed with optimal ventilation and natural lighting systems.
The Generalitat of Catalonia initiated this housing project in 1932 to address the severe housing shortage caused by industrial workers migrating to Barcelona.
Three GATCPAC architects designed this residential complex to transform workers' living standards through modern architecture principles and communal facilities.
The apartments measure between 55 and 77 square meters, featuring designated areas for daily activities, two bedrooms, and multiple window openings.
Apartment 1/11 functions as a museum, displaying original 1930s furniture, hydraulic flooring, and foldable doors from the Second Spanish Republic period.
