Casa Comalat

On the other hand, the rear facade, which faces Córsega street, less importantly, it has a much less formal and more free and original treatment, with irregular tribunes, roller shutters, stained glass and mosaics occupying the window sills, on artificial stone bases of different tones with organic shapes and parabolas of the Gaudienne type. The ceramic decoration, very abundant on this facade, is by Lluís Bru, who also did part of the interior decoration. One floor retains the original modernist decoration.
