In works such as this apartment building, located in one of the areas most favoured by the middle classes, Sagnier made the transition between the monumental constructions of the early years of his professional career and the more relaxed shapes of his Modernista houses in the first decade of the 20th century. The specialised press of the period declared that the architect—perhaps on account of the numerous commissions that were piling up on his desk—seemed to be concerned exclusively with the tower that sets off one of the angles of the chamfered corner and hence had concentrated all the carvings there, particularly in the blind arcade with heraldic shields near the top, topping it with a fanciful zinc cupola. In comparison with this focus of attention, the composition of the rest of the building is less meticulous, with a simple juxtaposition of openings without any kind of articulation, making the angle without a tower particularly awkward. This and the other conspicuous features (the entrance doorway and, in general, all the lower courses of the ground floor, as well as the balcony and the large tribune on the first floor) were executed in stone by the specialists Pujol i Barnadas with vegetable ornamentation, while the ironwork on the balconies was by M. Ballarín y Cia. and the zinc roof of the cupola by the Real Compañía Asturiana.
