Casa Lluch, building in Barcelona Province, Spain
Casa Lluch is a residential house in Sant Cugat del Vallès designed in Catalan modernism with influences from Viennese Secession style. The building combines white stucco facades with exposed brickwork, blue and white ceramic tiles, and decorative wrought iron elements across three levels.
The house was designed in 1906 by architect Eduard Maria Balcells as a summer home for the Lluch family. Shortly after its construction, the family sold it to French sculptor Robert Chaveaux Davin de Vasconcel, who enlarged and modified the building.
The name Casa Lluch comes from the family who originally owned the house. The building displays a blend of European influences and Catalan modernism, with distinctive blue and white ceramic decorations that reflect the craftsmanship and artistic expression of that era.
The house sits on the Carretera de la Rabassada in a wooded area near the Collserola mountain range, creating a quiet setting. It is accessible on foot, and visitors can clearly view the exterior details and artfully crafted facade from outside.
The building was originally home to a French sculptor who was a friend of the renowned artist Auguste Rodin. This artistic connection is reflected in the careful craftsmanship and deliberate design choices that set the estate apart from other homes in the area.
