Arched Hallway

Arched Hallway

Casa Batllo is a unique home, so unlike any other in the world. Every turn is filled with surprises. This arched hallway offers an uplifting passage between parts of the home, one more fanciful delight to behold.

The Way Out

The Way Out

This set of stairs leads to the roof and exterior of Casa Batllo. The stairwell provides a backdrop for the curvaceous and angular stairway that creates shadows, mystery, and a sense of space before exiting the interior.

Stair Railing

Stair Railing

Curving lines are a central theme throughout Casa Batllo. This railing combines wood and metal, contoured at a stair landing to carry your hand around the stairway as you journey through this magical home.
