Quinta Alania is an elegant condominium located on the aristocratic Paseo Colón. Designed by the architect Emile Robert in 1909, the building consists of two floors destined to popular use housing, quinta type, with a total of eight apartments. The materials used are adobe, wood and quincha. The three volumes that make up the complex have a central axis where there is a passage that connects the second and third volumes through another that forms a "T" with the first. These pathways allow access to the dwellings and the stairs to the second level of the fifth floor. The façade has a French academic design and presents a large arched doorway with Art Nouveau decorative elements such as the wrought iron grille with naturalist-inspired motifs or the caryatids that support the spandrels of the arch. The entrance is flanked by two high bodies crowned by typical Parisian mansards. HFF
