Building between partitions, with a ground floor and three landings, as well as a symmetrically composed façade and curvilinear gable roof. The latter includes a grandiose and exaggerated ornamental composition with ribbons, fleurons, tiles and embossed buttons with high-quality metallic reflections.
The "whiplash" type forgings are very characteristic of Raspall's first stage, full of imagination and exuberance.
Located in Porxada Square, it is a main public space in Granollers, where the traditional Thursday market takes place. In its surroundings there are Renaissance buildings, so it represents a visual variant together with the Town Hall, also very important in the square.
It belongs to the network of constructions from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period of great construction activity in Granollers and Vallès Oriental, where the bourgeoisie opted for the decorativism and imagination presented by modernism.
House located in Porxada Square, in the centre of the old walled city, renovation of an earlier building. This building is one of the most representative of this square and of the modernism from Granollers, constituting an important visual landmark within the complex. It is a building between the ground floor and three floors with an Arabic tile gable roof. It presents a façade with symmetrical composition in two axes and geometric ornamentation with formal and decorative elements (medallions, ribbons, ceramic buttons, wrought iron, etc.) very representative of the modernist language. The building presents a façade divided vertically into three segments: the ground floor (which has been renovated), the first and second floors that start from the curved balcony that forms their base and the crowning, marked by the strong personality of the ovoidal opening of the third floor. It is the only building where the name of the architect is found in modernist style, engraved in bas-relief, on a stone on the façade, with the same characteristics, the number 17 is also engraved (CUSPINERA et al., 2001; HERITAGE, 1985).
It is about the refurbishment of an old house in a square between partitions, Ca l'Argenter, so called perhaps because its owners had worked in the silver industry. Since its refurbishment, it has been an important urban landmark within the square (GARCÍA-PEY, 1990).
