Casa de las Lavanderas / Raúl Sanchez Architects

Text description provided by the architects. Barcelona's Eixample bourgeoisie once washed their clothes in the wells of Calle Aiguafreda, one of the city's most picturesque streets today. Narrow two-story houses accommodated the washerwomen and their families, who went out daily to their wells to hand-scrub clothes they only ever touched to wash.
