The local name for the building  is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), and indeed  it does have a visceral, skeletal organic quality. <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Close up of Casa Batllo chimney :: Photo Credit: WikiMedia Casa Batllo’s roof has been compared to a reptilian creature, the  backbone of a  gigantic dinosaur, the dragon killed by St. George (Sant Jordi being the  patron  saint of Catalan). <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Casa Batllo roof :: Photo Credit: Klaus Dolle It seems that the goal of the designer was to avoid straight lines  completely.  Much of the facade is decorated with a mosaic made of broken ceramic  tiles that  starts in shades of golden orange moving into greenish blues. <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Casa Batllo arched roof :: Photo Credit: WikiMedia <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Casa Batllo building, Barcelona :: Photo Credit: Fran  Barrero <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Casa Batllo arched roof and complex chimney detailing  :: Photo Credit: WikiMedia From the balconies resembling the bones of animals to the scale like  surface of  the front facade, the building is a tour de force of an artist reaching  the peak  of his powers. At night the floodlit facade has an iridescence like the  scales  of a fish. This polychromic finish is known as trencadís. <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_06.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Casa Batllo, Barcelona in HDR:: Photo Credit: MorBCN The enlarged windows on the first floor gave it another nickname, ‘House  of  Yawns’. <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_07.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Casa Batllo window, Barcelona :: Photo Credit:  WikiMedia <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Window detail of Caso Batllo building :: Photo Credit:  shapeshift Casa Batllo Interior Design <img src="http://mycoolpix.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_25.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Inside Caso Batllo :: Photo Credit: (Erik) <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Inside Caso Batllo :: Photo Credit: acastellano <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Inside Caso Batllo :: Photo Credit: 3dom <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Caso Batllo: Spiral Design :: Photo Credit: 3dom <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Caso Batllo: Spiral Design :: Photo Credit: Mini Anna <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/bone_house_14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Caso Batllo lobby :: Photo Credit: Kipourax ** add reps if yo like my post ** </blockquote>
