.....I don't know too much about it but something about an interesting building reaches out to me.
So when one of my friends took this picture in, I believe, Thira, Greece I was amazed.

It looks like a Goudi building. Are you sure it wasn't Barcelona?

Edit: It is Goudi. http://www.globotreks.com/destinations/10-gaudi-buildings-barcelona/

Be it where it may it is one strange looking design... must have been a lot of custom work and expensive. Guess he/she wanted a different look on the block..:roflblack:

My Architect sketched this out on a cocktail napkin, as we discussed a new weekend villa... :D

My question: Do you think that this building needs an elevator? :roflblack:

They're in Greece at the moment and they did get there via Spain, so Barcelona it is!
Well, I did say that I didn't know much about the subject....and I was right :opps:
It is, however a very impressive building.
Thanks to Patti I got a bee in my bonnet about it and went "image hunting"!
Here's a broad link which would be worth a few minutes of anybody's time:
