casa mila

also known as la pedrera (the quarry in catalan).  can you believe it was built between 1905 and 1910?!  it still looks so modern now.  i can only imagine how shocking it much have looked in the early 20th century! it was actually an apartment building but i don't think anyone lives there anymore since it's basically a museum now.






i love how whimsical it is.  it isn't the most efficient use of space with its cut out interior (as you can see from the plan) but i like it all the much better for it.  it allows for more natural light. and in today's fast-paced world, i find that the real luxuries are what is inefficient :)
