Casal del Metge is located in the Ciutat Vella district, facing Via Laietana and Tapineria Street. It is a building between party walls with a rectangular plan consisting of an office building, with a ground floor and five landings, plus a semi-basement. Although the main façade is the one that faces Via Laietana, access currently takes place from 8-10 Tapineria Street.
The two façades, with classical elements, are made with a Florentine rigor transferred to the new urban scales. The symmetry in the horizontal and vertical axes is one of the most relevant elements of the buildings, with the openings reproduced at a regular rate. The one facing Via Laietana has a central section slightly advanced in the vertical axis which reinforces the symmetry of the whole. At ground floor level, it has nine openings. The access portal and the two windows located on either side are resolved with a semicircular arch. This lower part of the façade is made with buttressed ashlars that draw geometric motifs with their joints that stand out compared to the rest of the façade, finished with polished stone. Below these windows, the polished stone plinth, there are other small ones, with flat sills, which illuminate a semi-subterranean floor.
Above a small ledge that separates it from the upper floor are the five balconies on the first floor, of which only the central one is overhanging. Above all openings there is a triangular pediment, in the form of a dust guard, supported by corbels and joined together by a small cornice. The pediment of the central opening is broken by a shield of Aesculapius flanked by single curule jugs with stone fleurons and, below, a medallion with the date "1932". Of the upper floors, the third one stands out, with a running balcony that joins the three central openings, where only the one on the axis has a pediment above it and the upper one, where Doric columns have been arranged between the openings semicircular section. Above these columns we find the crowning, formed by alternating triglyphs and metopes decorated with a central ornate disc above which opens a cornice supported by simple corbels and all finished with a central pediment.
The façade of Tapineria Street reproduces the classicizing and symmetrical formulas, with slight changes in the layout, order and finish of the openings.
Leaving aside the façades, a series of representative outbuildings also stand out, among which the central courtyard and the assembly hall are of special interest, where Florensa refers, through the architectural and decorative elements, to various details of the old Casa de la Convalescència, which at one time housed the Faculty of Medicine.
The Casal del Metge, the Cambó House and the headquarters of the Foment del Treball are, according to Oriol Bohigas, the buildings in Barcelona where the classic language manifests itself with greater correctness and urbanistic efficiency.
