The space
• THE COMPETITION

Fancy yourself as a temporary resident at the famous Gaudi designed Casa Batllo, in the heart of Barcelona? If you’re in town for Mobile World Congress this could be your home for 2 days.

• HOUSE DESCRIPTION

Living in Casa Batllo is not living in a house.
It’s living in a organic skeletal dragon.
In a world renowned artistic masterpiece.

The night of March the 3rd you will open the door to a place that will whisk you back to experimental Art Nouveau in the 1900s - a perfect contrast to the new tech inventions of MWC.

Walk the halls and discover an artwork in every step. Magically vivid mosaics line the hallways and lead to a fairy tale maze of vaulted ceilings with impossibly shaped lights.

The bedroom, with organic shapes inspired by nature, invites you to imagine a time where everything was possible. If you could imagine it you could create it.

You’ll be pampered as soon as you hang up your lanyard as a butler offers you a glass of champagne and you relax in the lap of luxury in your modernism pied-à-terre.

This is just a preview, you'll have to discover the rest of it yourself.

Hola, bon dia! Me llamo Antoni Gaudí. Estudié arquitectura y, durante mi carrera, he trasladado a todos mis proyectos lo que he aprendido de observar a la madre naturaleza. De pequeño adquirí una habilidad especial para tratar el espacio y el volumen mientras ayudaba a mi padre y a mi abuelo en el taller familiar. Volúmenes y formas orgánicas, disposiciones artísticas que nacían de la propia naturaleza, todo lo que sea orgánico y sensible me conmueve. Todo está calculado y no dejo nada al azar. Lo artesano y la búsqueda de materiales nobles me han llevado a trabajar con los mejores ebanistas y escultores. La Casa Batlló, donde tendrás ocasión de alojarte, fue declarada Patrimonio Mundial por la Unesco en el año 2005. Debido a sus inusuales formas, algunos la conocen como la casa de los huesos, la casa de las máscaras, la casa de los bostezos o la casa del dragón. Esto último se debe a que he representado en ella la leyenda de Sant Jordi, coronando su fachada con el aspecto del lomo de un dragón y la cruz de cuatro brazos. En la Planta Noble, podrás disfrutar de una gran tribuna de vidrieras emplomadas con vistas al Paseo de Gracia. Es la zona del comedor, donde utilicé sobre todo madera noble. El patio de luces está revestido con azulejos en distintos tonos azules con los que traté de recrear los diferentes colores del mar. Los desvanes son espacios sugerentes formados por una sucesión de arcos que evocan la forma del vientre del dragón de Sant Jordi. Esta estructura sustenta la azotea, donde instalé varias chimeneas decoradas con mosaicos de infinitos colores. Por supuesto esto es sólo un pequeño adelanto. Lo demás, tendrás que descubrirlo... Como ves, querido invitado, soy extremadamente detallista y busco que cada experiencia sea única e inigualable, al igual que todas mis obras. Por eso, te puedo asegurar que en mi casa te sentirás como en ningún otro lugar del mundo. ¡Te espero! Antoni Gaudí ----------------- Hello, bon dia! My name is Antoni Gaudí. I studied architecture and, throughout my career, I have brought to my work everything I learned from observing Nature. From an early age, I started developing a special skill to treat space and volume while helping my father and grandfather in our family workshop. Organic and magical creativity move me. Everything in my work is calculated and I don´t leave anything to chance. My search for the best craftwork and high quality materials have enabled me to work with the best woodworkers and sculptors. Casa Batlló, where you will be spending two nights, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. Due to its unusual shapes, it is known locally as the house of bones, the house of masks, the house of yawns and the house of the dragon. This last name stems from my depiction of the legend of Saint George that crowns the façade with a four-armed cross and the roof representing the dragon’s back. On the main floor, you will enjoy a magnificent gallery of leaded windows overlooking Paseo de Gracia. This is the living room, where I used the best wood. The walls of the inside patio are covered in glazed tiles in varying shades of blue that symbolize the colors of the sea. The attic is supported by a series of catenary arches that evoke the belly of the magnificent Saint George dragon. Right above it, the roof terrace boasts chimneys decorated with a remarkable mosaic of fragments of colored glass. This is just a small preview, you will have to discover the rest... As you can see, dear guest, I´m a perfectionist, always in search of unique experiences and this shines through in each of my creations. Thus I can assure you that in my house you will feel like nowhere else in the world. I´m looking forward to having you at home! Antoni Gaudí
