Casa Batlló
The Casa Batlló is the result of the renovation of a building – constructed in 1877. Gaudí's imagination and creativity, together with the ideas of the architect Jujol, made the project into an exceptional example of the refurbishment of a dwelling. It incorporated a new concept of ornamentation and decoration which sought to capture more daylight by making it easier for light to pass through the building.
Casa Milà
Casa Milà is an apartment block built between 1906 and 1910 in Barcelona for the Milà family. The façade is an impressive wave-like mass of rough-shipped stone. The windows and doors seem to be dug out of this stone mass and are trimmed in exquisitely crafted wrought iron work with vegetal forms on the balconies and astonishing grilles on the two street-doors.
Casa Vicens
Casa Vicens This single-family residence for Manuel Vicens was the first Gaudí designed. The house is constructed of undressed stone, rough red bricks, and colored ceramic tiles in checkerboard and floral patterns. Manuel Vicens was the owner of a brick and tile factory so the ceramic tiles pay tribute to his employment. The yellow, zinnia-flowered tile, designed by Gaudí, was manufactured by Vicens.
