Francisco Sancho Building

Building built in 1907-1914, historically attributed to the architect Demetrio Ribes (1877 – 1921), something not documented. It forms an architectural ensemble with the building located at number 29 Ruzafa street, although in reality they are two independent buildings. It follows the modernist style typical of some of his works, with eclectic reminiscences. The use of suspended decorative elements characteristic of Viennese modernism (glazed ceramics, laurel wreaths, horizontal reliefs…) and the arrangement of the façade in three bodies (basement, central body and finish) stand out, drawing attention to the finish of this.

Its main element is the façade, in which the large windows of the mezzanine stand out, as well as its crown, an elegant ornamental element that follows the line of the rest of the crown of the chamfer and serves as a parapet of the roof.

The ordinancist layout of the façades, with centred entrances and their organization in three clearly differentiated bodies (basement, central body and finish), speak of academic permanence. In the central body the voids are grouped forming larger compositional units. It has two houses per height and single hall.
