	Casa Vicens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Casa Vicens is a single-family residence designed by Antoni Gaudí and built for Manuel Vicens.
		The house is constructed of undressed stone, rough red bricks, and colored ceramic tiles in checkerboard and floral patterns.
		Manuel Vicens was the owner of a brick and tile factory so the ceramic tiles pay tribute to his employment.

		The Casa Vicens is an example of how, by means of pure surface design and an overly-abundant ornamentation, a sober building can be transformed into a little castle.
		The Casa Calvet was to serve as both commercial premises and a residence.
		This was a new experience for him, as even on the Casa Vicens project, a building closed in on all sides, he had been able to create a significant amount of room space by a shrewd division of the area he had to work with.

	Casa Vicens, Barcelona
		The Casa Vicens, situated in a narrow side-street off the Carrer Gran de Gràcia, was built by Gaudí; between 1883 and 1888 for the ceramics manufacturer Manuel Vicens i Montaner and is one of the earliest of the architect's designs to be realized.

		The wavy facade of Casa Mila is accented by wrought iron balconies.

	Gaudi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		When the brick and tile manufacturer Manuel Vicens commissioned Gaudi to design a summer residence in 1878, the young architect was almost totally inexperienced.
		As for the costs, Gaudi had been accustomed to having abundant resources at his disposal for the design of his first works; even in the Casa Vicens project, where the owner had not had limitless means available, money had not been an object.
		The Casa Calvet is certainly the most conventional of all Gaudi's works and, in terms of its overall structure, almost boring.

		Both structures in stone and iron minimize traditional straight lines and flat surfaces by the use of rounded, irregularly spaced openings and a roof of balconies that have a wavelike appearance.
