House located on 800 PARANA Street

An architectonic revolution that did not find any clear parameters to follow, took place between the end of the XIX century and the beginning of the XX. 

The example that is being described in the following paragraphs provides an idea of the figurative language crisis that took place in the beginning of the XX century, which was expressed through what was called the Art Nouveau. In this case, this new art was applied to the ornamentation details. It seems as if the creators of this building have had an amusing time while designing it.

The building that used to be located on 861 Parana Street resembled a marzipan house –or so it seemed to be from its shapes and colours- underneath which there could not be anything else but a bakery.

It was an architectonic beauty created in 1892 by architect Le Monnier. The German firm ZIEGERSDORFF created the majolicas on its front.

The incoming and outgoing geometric planes on its front, the crowning angles, the delicate fence of its central little balcony and the half point over which it used to be sustained, visually played an important role.

This construction used to be located on 861 Parana Street and was demolished in order to build a residential building.
