The corridor that gives access to the elevator also preserves many decorative elements: curved and straight lines coexist in harmony and show the beauty, diversity and decorative intensity that characterizes modernism.
The modernist style stands out for being inspired by nature and profusely using elements of natural origin, especially plants and rounded shapes of organic origin. In Casa Condeminas, the sea inspired its “birth”, being the great influence that marked the building from its beginnings and continues to be the protagonist in the construction.
At the beginning of the 20th century, once the sea wall of Barcelona was demolished, the Centro de Navieros Aseguradores company commissioned the architect Josep Pujol i Brull to build a house in which to locate its main offices. These were installed on the main floor, which was later occupied by the Condeminas maritime agency, from which the building took its name. The house is located on the seafront, in front of the Barcelona marina, the Real Club Náutico, a key reference point in Mediterranean yachting with 140 years of history, and the Port Vell Marina, a first-class marina for superyachts. with a privileged location in the heart of the city. With these origins, Casa Condeminas is the most maritime modernist building in Barcelona. The views from the House, including the iconic silhouette of Montjuïc Mountain, are unique in the entire city.
Built on Paseo de Colom, a nerve center of the city, the House is very close to Las Ramblas and its references in social and cultural life, such as the Teatre del Liceu, a world-class opera institution.
