Can Cots

Can Cots

Can Cots, a rationalist architectural masterpiece in El Masnou, Spain, showcases both a study in surface and geometry and a work of art by itself.

Can Cots is an isolated building in the municipality of Masnou, Spain, included in the Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya. The building, designed by Joan creates (Joan Borja i Pons) in a rationalist or functional style, reflects the interior space through its exterior design. It displays no ornamental elements or any additions to the pure constructive forms: smooth surfaces, straight, vertical and horizontal lines, and curves derived from them. The exterior of Can Cots effectively disappears, as the building transforms into a game of volumes and geometric forms. The interior, on the other hand, is a study in open spaces and horizontal geometry.
