A rounded brick house, and some reflexion by El_Sueco
In Barcelona there is the Gaudi-house. This picture does not show anything like that, just show that even with ordinary bricks you can make a rounded and very nice shaped residential house.A general impression of the residential houses in Madrid is that they are huge, very huge, and often built of bricks. They are built with big dimensions on all sides, and often there is a shaft in the middle to let in some light to rooms in the center.
By the way, I was interrogating a sales man (actually a woman) about some new departments under construction, and I was shown a plan of a department in a huge residential house. What struck me was that the kitchen was placed "in the middle" where there were no natural light, only some light from the shaft, but one room away! And the price level to get that department was too far away to become reachable.
