The rooms that the Vicens family used in the daytime are located on this floor, with the dining room as the central space. This room is surrounded by an enclosed porch, a smoking room, a foyer and a kitchen.
In Casa Vicens, nature becomes architecture, something that we can observe in every centimetre of the rooms on this floor.
The entrance hall, which resembles as an interior garden, welcomes visitors to the home. There we can already see the richness of the materials and the multiple craftsmen who collaborated with Gaudí on this first house. Everything is decorated, from the ceiling to the sgraffiti on the walls, not to mention the opus tessellatum mosaic on the floor.
02/Dining room
The ornamentation with plant motifs spreads across the walls and ceiling in the dining room. It also surrounds the original furniture that Gaudí designed to showcase the collection of paintings by Francesc Torrescassana that Manel Vicens owned.
03/Covered porch
The architect connects this room with the garden through an covered porch. In this space, you can rest and stay cool thanks to the water from the fountain and the air that comes through the swinging shutters.
04/Smoking room
For the smoking room, a place for relaxation and leisure, Gaudí proposed the following elements: a ceiling with multi-coloured plaster muqarnas structure that replicate palm trees with clusters of dates, walls covered with papier-mâché tiles and wainscoting with tiles that have yellow and red roses painted in oil on them.
