Description
Modernist house with 625m2 dated from 1913, being work of Salvador Selles i Baro, restored in the 80s, maintaining the original design and elements to preserve its essence. Known as Casa Serinyana or Casa Blaua, it is one of the most famous and historic residences in the area. Located in Cadaques, at the turning point of Playa des Poal and Platja Gran, occupying two plots. The house is made up of 3 floors and an attic, all of it built from the original fisherman's house. The roof of the house has been converted into a terrace with a box, from where you can enjoy incredible views of the bay of Cadaques. From the terrace, a staircase and a bridge give access to the main floor. This staircase has ceramic wainscots with floral motifs, taking care of the overall design before entering the house. Its curvilinear facade follows the layout of the street and makes it stand out among the surrounding houses . The roof, very striking due to the steep slopes and their variation, is made of glazed flat tiles in a very bright orange color, characteristic of modernism, formed by slopes with different inclinations. Two towers, one at each end, configure the volumetric singularity of the whole, its roofs have a double slope and with different orientation, and are crowned by ornamental metal elements. The interior maintains the care in all the details, of the original design. It has an Indian or stately style, and the attic has elements and design that give it a marine, fresh and classic air that differs from the rest of the house, without losing coherence. The most remarkable thing is that the essence has been maintained the original by Octavio Serinyana, and preserves intact original elements such as blue ceramics on the facade, from which it gets its name, wrought iron on the balconies, frescoes on the ceilings, hydraulic mosaic on the floors, art Nouveau tiles and Murano lamps. A unique and historic property that has managed to maintain, since its inauguration in 1913, its careful design and modernist details that give it so much charm.
