Güell Cellar – Garraf, Barcelona (Spain).

This building was projected together by Antoni Gaudí i Cornet (who signed the project) and Francesc Berenguer i Mestres his disciple, in 1895.

In 1882 Eusebi Güell commissioned Gaudí to design a hunting lodge on some land he owned in the area of the Garraf. This project never saw the light of day, but later, in 1895, a cellar was built there following a design that was probably by Gaudí in collaboration with Francesc Berenguer, to whom the building was attributed for many years.

The cellar, built in local stone, is a unique triangular building based on the Gaudinian parabolic arch. The walls act as a roof, and the building consists of two lower and three upper floors, including a private chapel. The exterior has a notably mediaeval look, although the architect’s hallmark of naturalistic elements is visible in the chimneys, as is the monogram of the Güell family on the walls.

Forming part of the same project, the gatehouse is also built in stone and brickwork, and again we find the monogram of the Güells. The main gate, in meshed ironwork, is of particular interest. On the same site there is a watchtower and alongside this a farmhouse, which are both private and closed to the public.

Since 1977 the complex of buildings has belonged to the Granada family, who bought it from the then Count Güell. The part built by Gaudí was used as a private house and the rest of the complex continued to be used to grow mushrooms, as it had been for many years. In 1994 the family turned the space into a restaurant: the two main halls, purpose-built as a mushroom farm, were converted into two rooms of the restaurant—the Granada Room and the Garraf Room—and the ground floor of the house became the Gaudí Room.

Zénobe Grammestraat 50, Antwerpen


Image by Erf-goed.be
Dit burgerhuis in art-nouveaustijl staat aan de Zénobe Grammestraat in Antwerpen. De woning werd in 1905 opgetrokken naar een ontwerp van architect Jacques De Weerdt. Voor de lijstgevel in witte baksteen werd functioneel en decoratief gebruik gemaakt van natuursteen. Opvallend zijn de gebogen ijzeren balkons, onder meer voor het dakvenster. In 2003 werd het pand beschermd als monument.
