Featuring a typically Catalonian style, Casa Vicens remains a completely freestanding building. This was actually the first house project completed by Gaud\u00ed in Barcelona. After that, the acclaimed Catalan architect went to create marvelous masterpieces, such as Casa Batll\u00f3, Park G\u00fcell and the still yet-to-complete Sagrada Fam\u00edlia.<\/p>\n

The restoration of this residence is amazing and inspiring. The walls and ceiling of the building were painted with new colors and the gardens and water features have been relocated.

Restorers removed layers of paint in the extraordinary smoking room in order to unveil Gaud\u00ed\u2019s original blue and green color scheme. The three-dimensional papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 reliefs on the ceilings and walls have been repaired as well and restored to the original design. In addition, the tiles were laid on the roof, in an effort to be authentic to the old technique of \u2018trencad\u00eds\u2019, consisting of breaking up ceramic tiles into pieces and putting the fragments up with mortar.<\/p>\n
