Edificio Roig Vives

The Edificio Roig Vives is a residential building in Valencia, built in 1944 to designs by the architect Francisco Javier Goerlich. It stands at Calle Játiva 4, on the former grounds of the Convent of Jerusalem, right where the city walls once ran. The building is considered an outstanding example of Valencian rationalist architecture. The facade has a symmetrical Art Deco composition, crowned by a blank central section and a stepped tower structure. Its hallmarks include the vertical accents, the rounded balconies, and the rectangular oriel windows. Stylistic features can also be found inside, especially in the entrance area, such as the combination of black and white marble on the stair treads and bases. You can admire the building as an architectural landmark that combines clever floor plan design with decorative elements of the 1940s.
