Casa Calvet is less well known people that Milla and Batllo, but it's still a completely original building designed by Gaudi. It was built between the years 1898 and 1899.
Casa Calvet is exceptional in many respects. First, it is high, narrow and quite geometric. Many say it is the buildings as "normal" Gaudi, and that its design was limited in that it lies between two nearby buildings.
Casa Calvet was built as a home plus some commercial space, the building should be functional first.
But even under these conditions most of the characteristics typical of Gaudi are there. Fanciful carved balconies of different sizes, the roof also incorporates details and original curves.
columns on the ground floor are shaped coils stacked son, This recalls the primary function of the place at the time: the manufacture of textile products.
