Casa Francisco Ordeig (Francisco Ordeig House), Valencia
The Francisco Ordeig House is a residential building situated in the heart of Valencia, specifically on the Market Square. Constructed in 1907, this Valencian Modernist-style structure was designed by the renowned architect Francisco Mora Berenguer.
Originally commissioned by Francisco Ordeig as his private residence, the initial plans for the house were drafted in 1907. However, a year later, a neo-Gothic revival replaced the original design.
Comprising a ground floor and four upper levels, including a mezzanine, the building showcases distinctive features on its main facade. Notably, the second and third floors exhibit tripartite windows adorned with columns and decorative elements at the top. The third floor boasts an intricately adorned balcony. Crowned by a neo-Gothic tower, embellished with battlement-like pillars, modernist-style sgraffito, rose windows, and an ornate wrought iron railing adorned with plant motifs, the structure stands as a testament to its architectural magnificence.
Additionally, the side of the building features modernist sgraffito at various heights, culminating in neo-Gothic battlements.
