Antoni Gaudí's Casa Batlló, designed in 1904, is a wonderful example of an urban home that strategically incorporates natural light into every room. I had the opportunity to tour this incredible home in November 2018. Here are a few of my favorite shots!
Gaudí designed two skylights, one on either side of the central elevator and stairwell, to provide natural light to all of the interior rooms. In order to keep the amount of light consistent on each floor, he used darker tiles and smaller windows at the top and lighter tiles and larger windows further down.
The loft incorporates indirect natural light and natural air ventilation into the space.
Next time you're in Barcelona, I highly recommend visiting this inspiring home! For more information, check out their website.
