Passeig 1, La Garriga, Barcelona

This building is one of the four designed by Raspall in the area now called "Raspall block". These buildings are the Torre Iris (1910, Passeig 1), Casa Barbey (1910, Passeig 5), La Bombonera (1910, Passeig 3), and Casa Antoni Barraquer (1912, Passeig 7).

Built at the same time as the rest of the "Raspall Island", the Iris tower shows light and immaterial appearance thanks to the chromatic treatment spread over all the façades, based on white, cream and yellow tones. It follows the typology of the other holiday homes built by Raspall, with the vertical continuity reflected by the tower.

This elegant building with a stucco façade was built for summer vacationers.
