Along with the well known Gaudi, there were many other modernista architects working during the same time period, including
Guillem Busquet. The Spanish architects working in the same vein as the more widely known Gaudi created houses in the city proper of Barcelona such as the
Casa Battlo, the
Casa Mila, the
Palau Guell or the
Casa Lleo Morera; but also a number of smaller residences around the city, such as this one I came across one day outside of Barcelona last year.
You see so much of the modernista distinctive style here: the curved and unusually shaped facade, the inventive terra cotta work and his use of color through tile. So while traveling, I think this is a reminder(to me!) to always keep your eyes open because you never know what gem you might find even in a quiet suburb!
