Casas de Félix Sáenz, Residential building in central Málaga, Spain.
Casas de Félix Sáenz is a residential complex in central Málaga made up of two blocks, each three stories tall, topped with four towers and decorated with neomudéjar and neorenaissance details. The buildings blend brick, ceramics, and marble in their design, with two square and two octagonal towers that create different visual profiles.
Fernando Guerrero Strachan designed this residential complex in 1922, representing the evolving architectural language of early twentieth-century Spanish cities. The project emerged during a period when Málaga was reshaping its urban character.
The building's decorated front wall shows the way affluent residents valued ornamental detail and skilled craftsmanship in their homes during the early twentieth century.
Located on Paseo de Reding in the Campos Elíseos neighborhood, the building is visible and accessible from the street. The towers and ornamental front are best viewed from outside to see the full visual effect.
The four towers feature different geometric shapes, with two square and two octagonal, creating an unexpected asymmetrical composition that stands out against the Málaga skyline. This unusual approach to tower design makes the building recognizable from various points around the city.
