Casa Figueras, Art Nouveau residence in Cassà de la Selva, Spain.

Casa Figueras is a residential building in Cassà de la Selva that blends different architectural styles in its design. Its facade features ornamental details that combine Art Nouveau elements with classical forms from earlier traditions.

The house was designed by architect Isidre Bosch i Batallé during a period when builders were freely mixing different historical styles. This came from a growing confidence among craftspeople that they could blend old and new forms without strict rules.

The house reflects how local builders of its era experimented with mixing historical design traditions, creating something that felt both respectful of the past and forward-looking. Walking past it today, you can see how ordinary residents invested in distinctive homes that showed off their builders' creativity and skill.

The house is located on Passeig Vilaret in the town center and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can view the exterior anytime from the street, as it sits in a publicly accessible area.

Each part of the house shows different influences, as if the builder was trying out various design ideas side by side. This freedom was typical of late 1800s architecture, when there were no longer strict rules governing how buildings should look.

Antoni Gaudi architecture in Barcelona

Antoni Gaudí shaped Barcelona's cityscape with his modernist buildings that combine organic forms, natural motifs and structural innovations. His work spans more than four decades and includes residential buildings, parks, churches and experimental structures. The Sagrada Família, his monumental basilica under construction since 1882, demonstrates his understanding of geometry and light. Casa Batlló and Casa Milà show his ability to transform facades into sculptural surfaces, while Park Güell implements his vision of architecture within nature. Beyond Barcelona, projects like El Capricho in Comillas and the crypt at Colònia Güell in Santa Coloma de Cervelló demonstrate Gaudí's influence across Catalonia. His early works, including Casa Vicens and Palau Güell, document his evolution from traditional historicism to his characteristic style. The Gaudí House Museum in Park Güell provides insight into his life and working methods. These buildings are distributed throughout the city and mostly accessible to visitors, though some remain residential or operational.
