Casa-Vicens-52521

 

Casa Vicens in Bacelona, Spain was the first house Antoni Gaudi designed. This house was the beginning of Gaudi’s success in architecture. It also represented a new chapter in architecture. Gaudi used a mix of different styles, and this house is considered Neo-Mudejar architecture. He also used different materials like ceramic, iron and glass. This was also the first time Gaudi used mixed Hispanic and Arabic inspiration. This really was a monumental piece of work for Gaudi, because it was a turn in Catalan architecture and also helped kick off his career. Plans for construction began in 1883. The house has since then had other architects work on it. The house has four floors and was said to be opened for the public to tour in 2016.
