Casa Ugalde

Monument · Caldes d'Estrac, Maresme, Barcelona

The house, declared a cultural asset of national interest, was designed in 1951 by José Antonio Coderch de Sentmenat in collaboration with Manuel Valls Verges, and built between 1951 and 1952 commissioned by Eustaquio Ugalde. It is a detached single-family dwelling of two storeys, at number 16 Carrer Torrenova, with sea views and conceived to visually frame the landscape from its various rooms, respecting the existing vegetation. It was built with stone walls, reinforced concrete floor slabs, ceramic flooring and lime rendering. Together with the Casa Rozes, in Rosas, it is one of the most significant works by Coderch and of modern Catalan architecture of the post-war period.
