He qualified as an architect in Barcelona in 1899 and his work is scattered all over Catalonia. His style evolved in keeping with the architectural and artistic trends of the time. His early production was linked to the Modernista style, but his later works were completely Noucentista ("1900-ist", a term coined in 1906 to refer to 20th century Catalan culture) and eclectic in nature. In Barcelona he refurbished a block of flats, Casa Joaquín Mateo Eudald (1911; Carme, 34), adding two storeys and providing the façade with Modernista-style floral decoration. He also drew up the plans for Casa Condeminas (1915; Passeig de Colom, 11) which stands out essentially for the decoration of the main façade and hall in Modernista style. Other works of his are to be found in Sitges (Casa Pere Carreras i Robert, 1906; Francesc Gumà, 23) and Igualada (Casa Francesc Ollé i Malet, Rambla de Sant Isidre, 13), to take just two examples. He dabbled in other artistic fields, such as illustration, and also wrote a number of theoretical articles in specialist journals dealing with architecture.
