Casa Duclós, building in Seville Province, Spain
Casa Duclós is a house in Seville designed in 1930 by Catalan architect Josep Lluís Sert. The four-level building has a simple rectangular form with basement, ground floor, first floor, and a rooftop terrace, with the rear opening onto a garden.
The house was built in 1930 by Josep Lluís Sert as one of his early projects in the rationalist style, an approach focused on simple forms and straight lines. It was registered in the General Catalog of the Historical Heritage of Andalusia in 1996 and is now considered an important example of modern house design in Spain.
Casa Duclós takes its name from its original owners and shows how modernist living worked in early 20th century Seville. The building combined a family home with a medical office, reflecting how work and domestic life were integrated in that period.
The house can be viewed from outside and displays its clean, functional design with white facades and stacked volumes. Visitors should note it is private property and viewing is from the street, where the architectural details are clearly visible.
The house was originally designed by Sert as a gift for his cousin and her husband, reflecting personal care in its design. The steel structure was planned with awning frames, though these were never actually installed, showing how Sert wanted to integrate the space between inside and garden.
