Page "Casa Batlló" Paragraph 15

The facade of the main floor, made ​​ entirely in sandstone, and is supported by two columns.

The design is complemented by joinery windows set with multicolored stained glass.

In front of the large windows, as if they were pillars that support the complex stone structure, there are six fine columns that seem to simulate the bones of a limb, with an apparent central articulation ; in fact, this is a floral decoration.

The rounded shapes of the gaps and the lip-like edges carved into the stone surrounding them create a semblance of a fully open mouth, for which the Casa Batlló has been nicknamed the " house of yawns.

" The structure repeats on the first floor and in the design of two windows at the ends forming galleries, but on the large central window there are two balconies as described above.
