Calvet House

Casa Calvet, located on calle Casp, is another example of a modernist building by Gaudí. Casa Calvet was originally built as a home and office space for the textile manufacturer Pere Calvet. It is the first and most conventional of the three houses that Gaudí designed in the Eixample of Barcelona. In fact, many experts on Gaudí consider Casa Calvet to be his most conservative work, because in terms of symmetry, balance and order, it is not characteristic of his work. This may be because, on the one hand, Gaudí had to fit the building in among the older, nearby buildings, and on the other, consider that the work would be located in an elegant neighborhood.
