He qualified as an architect in Barcelona in 1892. He did most of his work in Barcelona and Sant Just Desvern, where he was the municipal architect. Two of the outstanding works belonging to the early part of his career in Sant Just Desvern are the refurbishment in 1904 of a former farmhouse, Can Ginestar (1904; Carles Mercader, 17) and Casa Pruna (1909; Marquès de Monistrol, 11), both in a clearly Modernista style. He later adapted to the Noucentista ("1900-ist", a term coined in 1906 to refer to 20th century Catalan culture) trends, as can be seen in Casa Bassols and Casa Solé (1916; Major, 43 and 45) in Sant Just Desvern.
In Barcelona, together with the architect A. Calvet i Peyronill, he was responsible for Sarrià market (1911-1913; Passeig de la Reina Elisenda de Montcada, 8), and the enclosure and main entrance of Villa Conchita (1912; Mare de Déu del Coll, 81) using materials such as bricks, trencadís (broken tile work) and iron with shapes and ornaments of a clearly Modernista style. In Elx he built Casa García Férnandez (Passeig Eres de Santa Llúcia). He also worked in Sitges and Vilafranca del Penedès.
