CASA ÁLVAREZ

SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE
- Arquitectura Civil y Doméstica. S.XX y Posterior -




This work was designed by the architect Pelayo L pez and Mart n Romero in 1930 for Catalina lvarez, widow of Fern ndez del Castillo. Its architectural style is framed within a predominantly ecological, although very content, even with strong expressionist nuances. Taking advantage of the economic and administrative facilities that the city council offered to end the old dilapidated houses, the promoter's son decided to take advantage of these benefits, commissioning Pelayo L. fish the project, signed in October 1930. The rest of the project, both administrative and constructive, it is a clear example of how badly the municipal technical office worked at that time. In February 1936, after multiple avatars, the work could be completed.
