Not far from Tibidabo, on the Putxet, one of the prominences that enlivens the topography of the Barcelona plain, Sagnier built this detached house that received the honour of being pictured in the prestigious journal Arquitectura y Construcción, which devoted several pages to the interior and the exterior. As in other villas at this time, Sagnier had recourse to Plateresque (or Spanish Renaissance) ornament in order to enliven the openings in this building conceived as a modern version of the masia, or traditional Catalan farm-house. Specifically, he adopted elements such as the entrance doorway, reduced to a simple semicircular arch, or the attic galleries (which employ a repetition of small arcades or the Classical motif of the Serlian arch, consisting of an arch flanked by two rectangular openings).

Other elements that Sagnier drew from local Renaissance style were the balcony with its wrought-iron railing and tiled surface, the niche with a religious image and the projecting eaves with abundant supporting brackets. The presence in the openings of reliefs directly inspired by Plateresque models, in the general context of stylistic indefinition, remind us of other antecedents from Barcelona architecture of the 15th–16th centuries, such as the now-vanished Casa Gralla or the Torre Pallaresa, in the municipality of Santa Coloma de Gramenet. On the other hand, the undulating cornices of the facades are an inventive flourish that Sagnier did not repeat. As in other houses of this type, the sumptuous decoration of the interior absorbed a large part of the budget and was commissioned from the most renowned specialists. The villa’s superb location, in a pine-wood with fine views over the city, also contributed to its status.
