Casa Gomis is tucked away in a considerable wetland on the outskirts of Barcelona, at the end of a meandering road. At first glance, this massive home in the Delta de Llobregat appears to be a collection of striking white arches that have been connected. Flamingos surround it.
A prime example of rationalist architecture, which dates back to the Enlightenment, is Casa Gomis. It makes use of mathematically defined structures, symmetry, and minimal decoration. To put it briefly, it eliminates the clutter.
The typical pile of tat that is present in most homes disappears as soon as you enter. Instead, it’s all about distinct lines that provide a greater sense of space. The light that enters through the wide windows with the coloured glass studding reinforces this.
Classically styled couches, chairs and even a table that doubles as a bar with a deep section to conceal drinks and bottles are all present. Last month, the Gomis-Betrand family sold the property to the Spanish government for €7.2 million in order to preserve it for future generations.
Although the Casa Gomis family turned down numerous offers to utilise their house as a filming setting, the area was utilised as a set for the 2015 movie “The Gunman,” which starred Idris Elba, Ray Winston, and Sean Penn.
