Casa Luca de Tena, building in Seville Province, Spain
Casa Luca de Tena is a residential building in Seville designed in regionalist architecture that blends seamlessly with its neighborhood. The structure features a prominent arcaded loggia at street level with marble columns, decorative tilework, ornamental wooden ceilings with period motifs, and geometric gardens centered on a star-shaped fountain.
The house was designed and built between 1923 and 1926 by Aníbal González, a prominent Seville architect, for client Torcuato Luca de Tena. In 1997 it was officially registered as historical heritage by the Junta de Andalucía, and later adapted for office use while preserving much of its original character.
The house reflects how Seville's affluent families in the 1920s valued design that merged local traditions with contemporary forms. The building stands as a visible example of the architectural tastes and residential life of that era.
The building sits on Avenida de la Palmera in a walkable neighborhood with shops and cafes nearby. Since it is not open to the public, visitors can appreciate its architecture and gardens from the street and surrounding area.
Aníbal González designed the house as a special project for his relative Torcuato Luca de Tena, giving it a personal character unlike his other work. The interior spaces reveal sophisticated details such as a marble vestibule, an ornamental wooden ceiling with Renaissance motifs, and decorative tilework reminiscent of Italian Renaissance styles.
