HOUSE OF THE WEEK: Casa Gomis by Antonio Bonet Castellana

January 16th, 2014

This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.

Casa Gomis is a modernist house set in the La Ricarda estate of north-eastern Spain. It was designed by architect Antonio Bonet Castellana, in close collaboration with the owner Ricardo Gomis and his wife Inés Bertrand Mata. Built between 1953 and 1963, the house features an undulating vaulted roof and was very experimental for its time. It remains the property of the Gomis Bertrand family, who are dedicated to preserving it in its original state. The woodland which it stands in is sandwiched between the Mediterranean Sea and Barcelona airport, which has expanded since the house was built.
