The building was initially built to host the offices of the insurance company Winterthur
The curved character of the building responds to and preserves the round shape of Francesc Macià square
Curves are rare in modernist architecture. To step into Francesc Macià 10 is to experience a unique feeling
As Gaudí once said: “The straight line belongs to man, the curve to God”
Marcio Kogan has his own history of expertise in creating modernist icons
The residences offer a peaceful respite from all that is going on at street level
Marcio Kogan sensed an energy within the building, which was magnified by its unexpected shape. His remit was to translate this energy into life, within that environment.
BEAUTIFUL BARCELONA
Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is one of the most cosmopolitan, vibrant and exciting destinations in Europe. It is famous for its culture, architecture, design, beaches, nightlife and of course, cuisine. With the benefit of an international airport within close proximity and 320 days of sun each year, Barcelona is an appealing place to explore or relax. The sea is a major attraction and you can spend the day windsurfing, kayaking or swimming. Outside the city, stunning countryside is ideal for hiking and cycling and the Pyrenees are a short drive away for skiing. Whether you’re shopping for the most luxurious brands, lazing on the beach or sprawling in a tree-lined park, Barcelona has something for everyone, every hour of the day.
