The Vicens house is a summer house which was commissioned at the time by the owner of a tile factory called Manuel Vicens, so the house name Vicens.
At that time Gaudí still had no experience in housing, It was the first great work of it, he began building in Spanish style, but it was becoming increasingly Arabic, or even Persian, which makes confuse styles, the house is beautiful out.
The house is small and the works that are used made by him, we can say that is simple. Formerly had a large garden, but with the growth of the city nowadays it is a small garden.
