After 130 years as a private house, Casa Vicens in the city of Barcelona – Antoni Gaudí’s first built work and a UNESCO World Heritage Site – will this coming autumn be opening as a museum, thanks to the painstaking and bias-free restoration and renovation work that has been carried out by José Antonio Martínez Lapeña, Elías Torres, and David García, which has mainly involved eliminating additions executed over the decades that had come to obstruct proper viewing of the facade.
