Modernism

The architect Anasagasti, born in Bermeo, is one of the most recognized figures in contemporary Spanish architecture for his remarkable architecture and his theoretical contribution as a teacher.

At Bermeo, he did an exceptional modernist job with a great personality. This building on Erremedio Kalea is a shining example of his particular modernist interpretation of the Viennese style. The singularity is revealed in the emphasis on formal purification and in the elegant decorative repertoire, flat as a solution to respect the rigor of the form.

The resources used are as follows: bright colors, smooth and straight moldings in the hollows, pillars with circular patterns and balconies with elaborate and elegant circular shapes.

The house underwent a reform around 1930 to replace the wooden bay windows with the current masonry and transform the attic into a dwelling, which required increasing the hollows. This reform, with its art deco style, was perfectly adapted to the Viennese spirit of the house.
