The houses in this square still have a lot of their architectural beauty, although a lot of mouldings and PERCHES were destroyed during the air raids.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

MUESTRA el USO:

Sin embargo este diseño queda suspendido, y es Ventura Padierne, uno de los cuatro aparejadores del palacio Real de Madrid quien se encarga de la obra. El proyecto de Padierne se basa en el de Villegas en cuanto al trazado circular del edificio, aunque elimina la tercera planta del proyecto de Villegas. Padierne sitúa las oficinas de prensa en la planta baja y también percha, lanas, emborradores, utensilios, tundidores, carpintería y tesorería, dejando en la planta alta superintendencias, alcobas, dormitorios y despachos. Diseña más ventanas que en el proyecto de Villegas, tanto al exterior como al patio interior, donde sitúa una fuente de 4 caños.

USO:

Cuando el Rey decide visitar a Ulrica con su séquito llevando disfraces, Oscar -una secretaria- hace entrar una gigantesca percha de utilería con numerosos trajes de cotillón, lentejuelas, galeras, glitter, y su aria jamás ha sonado tan adecuadamente circense.

FINALMENTE:

Because of its central location and lack of any taller next-door neighbors, this architectural ghost of the Espersons is able to haunt millions of people daily from its lofty perch.
