Ground floor

The jewel of Casa Vicens

The ground floor is the heart of Casa Vicens and the place for enjoying the complete essence of Gaudí’s masterpiece. Through three interconnecting spaces: dining room, gallery and smoking room, an exuberant stage is created, rich in decorative and ornamental elements. A floor to admire the collection of paintings by Francesc Torrescassana, the virtuous papier mâché work or the most iconic room in Casa Vicens: the smoking room, where the honeycomb work on the ceiling and the decoration transport us to an exotic oriental oasis.

First floor

The most intimate and private

Stepping onto the first floor of Casa Vicens is to discover the Vicens family’s most intimate spaces: the bedrooms, the bathroom and the small lounge. A journey around Gaudí’s first house, highlighted by its decoration, finishes and ceramic ceilings. The big surprise on this floor is found in the small lounge, which is covered by a false dome created using the “trompe l’oeil” technique. A floor with diaphanous spaces that can work separately or as interconnected rooms.

Second floor

Space and versatility

An original diaphanous structure which Gaudí designed following the constructive tradition of domestic Catalan architecture and which could indicate that this was the space set aside for the service of the house. What stands out is the impressive covering of exposed, slanted wooden beams and more than 40 windows which create an interesting play of light and shade while at the same time bringing warmth to the space. A highly versatile room with a welcoming atmosphere, ideal for presentations and large dinners.
