Both Josep and his significant other were available to anything and they chose not to confine Gaudí. Josep did not need his home to look like any of the places of whatever is left of the Batlló family, for example, Casa Pía, worked by the Josep Vilaseca. He picked the modeler who had composed Park Güell on the grounds that he needed him to think of a hazardous arrangement. The family lived on the Noble Floor of Casa Batlló until the center of the 1950s.

Redesign (1904-1906)

In 1904 Josep Batlló procured Gaudí to outline his home; at first, his designs were to tear down the building and develop a totally new house. Gaudí persuaded Josep that a remodel was adequate and was additionally ready to present the arranging application that year. The building was finished and repaired in 1906.

He extended the focal well with a specific end goal to supply light to the entire building and furthermore included new floors.

Plan Outline

The nearby name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), as it has an instinctive, skeletal natural quality. The building looks exceptionally amazing — like everything Gaudí planned, just identifiable as Modernisme or Art Nouveau in the broadest sense. The ground floor, specifically, is fairly amazing with tracery, sporadic oval windows and streaming etched stonework.

It appears that the objective of the fashioner was to keep away from straight lines totally. A significant part of the façade is brightened with a mosaic made of broken fired tiles (trencadís) that begins in shades of brilliant orange moving into greenish blues. The rooftop is angled and was compared to the back of a winged serpent or dinosaur. A typical hypothesis about the building is that the adjusting element to one side of focus, ending at the best in a turret and cross, speaks to the spear of Saint George (benefactor holy person of Catalonia, Gaudí's home), which has been done into the back of the winged serpent.

Space

The space is thought to be a standout amongst the most surprising spaces. It was previously an administration territory for the occupants of the diverse flats in the building which contained pantries and capacity zones. It is known for its effortlessness of shapes and its Mediterranean impact using white on the dividers. It contains a progression of sixty catenary curves that makes a space which speaks to the ribcage of a creature. A few people trust that the "ribcage" plan of the curves is a ribcage for the mythical beast's spine that is spoken to in the rooftop.

Honorable floor and historical center

The honorable floor is bigger than seven-hundred square meters. It is the fundamental floor of the building. The honorable floor is gotten to through a private passageway lobby that uses sky facing windows taking after tortoise shells and vaulted dividers in bending shapes. On the honorable floor, there is an extensive arriving with guide perspectives to the blue tiling of the building great. On the Passeig de Gracia side is Mr. Batlló's investigation, a lounge area, and a disconnected spot for pursuing couples, enriched with a mushroom-molded chimney.

In 2005, Casa Batlló turned into an Unesco World Heritage Site.

Rooftop

The rooftop porch is a standout amongst the most mainstream highlights of the whole house because of its popular mythical beast back plan. Gaudí speaks to a creature's spine by utilizing tiles of various hues on one side. The rooftop is beautified with four smokestack stacks, that are intended to avoid backdraughts.

Outside veneer

The veneer has three unmistakable segments which are agreeably incorporated. The lower ground floor with the principle floor and two first-floor exhibitions are contained in a structure of Montjuïc sandstone with undulating lines. The focal part, which achieves the last floor, is a kaleidoscopic segment with projecting galleries. The highest point of the building is a crown, similar to a gigantic peak, which is at an indistinguishable level from the rooftop and covers the room where there used to be water tanks. This room is as of now vacant. The best shows a trim with earthenware pieces that has pulled in numerous understandings.

Rooftop tiles

The rooftop's curved profile reviews the spine of a mythical beast with clay tiles for scales, and a little triangular window towards the privilege of the structure reproduces the eye. Legend has it that it was once conceivable to see the Sagrada Familia through this window, which was being manufactured at the same time. The perspective of the Sagrada Familia is presently obstructed from this vantage point by more current buildings. The tiles were given a metallic sheen to reproduce the differing sizes of the beast, with the shading reviewing from green on the correct side, where the head starts, to dark blue and violet in the middle, to red and pink on the left half of the building.

Tower and globule

One of the features of the exterior is a pinnacle finished with a cross of four arms situated to the cardinal bearings. It is a bulbous, root-like structure that brings out vegetation. There is a second knob formed structure likewise reminiscent of a thalamus blossom, which is spoken to by a fold with arms that are really buds declaring the following blooming. The pinnacle is enhanced with monograms of Jesus (JHS), Maria (M with the ducal crown) and Joseph (JHP), made of artistic pieces that emerge brilliant on the green foundation that covers the veneer. These images demonstrate the profound religiosity of Gaudi, who was roused by the contemporaneous development of his basilica to pick the topic of the sacred family.

The globule was broken when it was conveyed, maybe amid transportation. Despite the fact that the producer focused on re-do the broken parts, Gaudí preferred the tasteful of the broken stone work and

The focal piece of the exterior brings out the surface of a lake with water lilies, reminiscent of Monet's Nymphéas, with delicate swells and reflections caused by the glass and earthenware mosaic. It is an incredible undulating surface secured with mortar sections of shaded glass circles joined with 330 rounds of polychrome stoneware. The plates were composed by Gaudí and Jujol between tests amid their stay in Majorca, while dealing with the reclamation of the Cathedral of Palma.

Gallery

At last, over the focal piece of the veneer is a littler overhang, additionally press, with an alternate outside tasteful, more like a neighborhood sort of lily. Two iron arms were introduced here to help a pulley to raise and lower furniture.

Principle floor

The exterior of the principle floor made totally in sandstone and is upheld by two segments. The plan is supplemented by joinery windows set with kaleidoscopic recolored glass before the huge windows, as though they were columns that help the mind-boggling stone structure, there are six fine segments that appear to reenact the bones of an appendage, with an evident focal enunciation; indeed, this is a botanical design. The adjusted states of the holes and the lip-like edges cut into the stone encompassing them make a similarity of a completely open mouth, for which the Casa Batlló has been nicknamed the "place of yawns." The structure rehashes on the primary floor and in the outline of two windows at the closures framing exhibitions, yet on the huge focal window, there are two galleries as depicted above.
