Chapa House

Modernist residential building, by architects Antonio Martorell Trilles, Emilio Ferrer Gisbert and Carlos Carbonell Pañella. Set of eight buildings, which occupy almost half of a block of flats. The first homogeneous block of flats in Valencia is, despite the different authorships, a design unit. The seriation of the balconies determines a horizontal composition, only broken in the chamfers, where viewpoints and finishes impose the vertical line. The homogeneous treatment of the ground floor and mezzanine further emphasize the importance of the main floor, the wavy finish reinforces the unity of the whole. The use of elements of “Art Nouveau” and “Viennese Sezesión” suggests that the authors would have wanted to summarise both trends.

Casa Chapa is a building that overlooks three streets and must be placed: Avenida Marqués del Turia 69 to 71, Plaza de Canovas 1 and 2 and Calle Gravador Esteve 36 and 38.
