Description | For the renovation of Casa Andreu, near Casa Bofarull, Jujol presented the owner, Seņora Fortuny-Sole, with a complete design, including a Jujol tower. He carried out the operations in several steps, which meant that the renovation took over twenty years. The first step was to complete the cellar for the wine-making plant, which included designing the wine press himself. In the end, the dining room and the hall plus staircase were the items most visibly remodeled by Jujol. The front door, with its worked copper facing, is the climax of the intervention. In 1943 Jujol divided the house in two, for the widow Fortuny's two sons. |
