Dear Sammy,

Seven buildings designed by Gaudí

are on the UNESCO World Heritage

List, but Casa Calvet was the only one

in that list to receive an award in 

Gaudí's lifetime: the most beautiful 

building completed in 1900 according 

to the Barcelona City Council. 

All the best,

R

Dear Hans,

"If you look at composition, then it really does start with the house, or more precisely, with architecture, and moves to the furniture; and that is so pleasing that you can forget about the annoyances of building" (Victor Horta)

Best wishes,
R
