The architect of Casa Girona i Cuyàs wanted to move away from Modernisme and use the new Noucentista style based on the classical tradition and romantic architecture.

  • Cultural heritage

When Lluís Girona i Cuyàs designed the house in 1922, he wished to present a setting worthy of the scale and the pretensions of Casa Fuster, across the road. He played safe and resorted to Classicism applied as terracotta decoration on a light stuccoed background.
The arches above the ground floor – now shops – house the mezzanines above an entablature, creating the curious exedra (a curved empty space in a colonnade) on the corner that forms part of one of the entrances. Notice the prominent cylindrical gallery above it, on the first three floors.

Observacions

Edifici en cantonada, de l'any 1922, projectat per Lluís Girona per a la seva mare. És una obra de gran interès pel què representa de distanciament amb el modernisme tot fixant la mirada en la tradició clàssica i en l'arquitectura romàntica del XIX.
