Casa Tosquella, Residential villa in El Putxet i el Farró, Spain
Casa Tosquella displays ornate wrought iron works and stuccos with plant and animal motifs on its facades, complemented by decorated ceilings and stained glass windows.
Built in 1889 as a summer residence for merchant Antoni Tosquella, the building underwent substantial modifications between 1907 and 1908 by architect Eduard Maria Balcells i Buïgas.
The Barcelona City Council purchased this Catalan Modernist building in 2021 to transform it into a public facility serving the elderly population of the neighborhood.
Located at 91-93 Vallirana Street, the property encompasses 866 square meters, featuring a 224-square-meter building surrounded by gardens accessible to visitors.
The building combines Modernist architectural elements with Arabic influences, featuring zoomorphic reliefs on wooden doors and painted ceilings created using hot plaster techniques.
