Can Roig i Torres
autoria desconeguda
The building is in the French modernist style. It has its back to the streets that delimit it, where it forms a chamfer, and has its main façade in the garden. The house is made up of two angled bodies, with a ground floor and a first floor (and a semi-basement in the left body) and an attic, joined by the access body with the staircase, crowned by the characteristic spiked tower. The entire roof is made of blue ceramic. The interiors have examples of decorative arts, such as woodwork, ironwork, etc. It was built on the initiative of Rafael Roig i Torres, Uruguayan consul in Barcelona. In 1913, the house received an award from the City Council. During the war it was a hospital, then it was the headquarters of the Falange and, later, a school. In 1987 it was remodelled to become the Municipal School of Music. In 2007, the city's new auditorium was inaugurated in the basement of the building.1906 - 1911

Rectory of the Major Church of Santa Coloma de Gramenet
Francesc d'Assís Berenguer i Mestres
Interesting treatment of the stone façades, which harmonises with the adjacent church and the fences delimiting the site. The building, with a semi-basement and three storeys, plays with the staggering of volumes, especially in the entrance area, where a small staircase leads to a porch supported by a simple column with an Ionic capital. The façades combine symmetry and asymmetry. It was built at the same time as the new parish church of Santa Coloma, with which it forms an ensemble.1912 - 1915

Gaudí and Verdaguer Pavilions of the Torribera Complex
Rafael Masó i Valentí, Josep Maria Pericas i Morros
These are two isolated pavilions with a ground floor and basement floor, with the geometric garden surrounded by hedges and a sloping roof of flat, glazed tiles and wrought iron elements. The façades are dominated by plastered and painted surfaces on low plinths of natural and rustic stone. The openings have English-style joinery with profusion of partitions and formal sandstone decorative elements, while the porches on the south façade are formed by concrete arches on round pillars. The Gaudí and Verdaguer pavilions are part of the set of pavilions of the mental clinic that won the competition promoted by the Mancomunitat of Catalonia in 1917. They are the only pavilions that were built according to the original project both in terms of the situation and the formal language employed. They were designed to treat psychiatric patients and have undergone several refurbishments over time. It is planned that they will be used to house the laboratories and offices of the Clinical Research Centre and Food Science and Technology Centre of the University of Barcelona. The Gaudí pavilion used to be called Sant Pau and the Verdaguer pavilion was dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes.1917 - 1936

Portería del Recinto Torribera Pavilion
Rafael Masó i Valentí, Josep Maria Pericas i Morros
It is a rectangular two-storey building designed as an access door to the Torribera complex which forms the axis of symmetry of the whole complex. The facings of the main façades combine stucco with artificial stone ornamentation. In the middle it has three arches, a large one for vehicular traffic and on both sides a smaller one for pedestrians. It has a cornice that surrounds the entire property with neo-baroque gables. Four prestigious medical doctors are represented by sculptures: Marià Cubí, Santiago Ramon y Cajal, Emil Wilhelm Magnus Georg Kraepellin and Jean-Martin Charcot. The roof is of Arabic tile on two sides and presents the crossing with the roof of the central body of the same characteristics. The goal of the Torribera complex is part of the project that in 1917 was the winner of the competition promoted by the Mancomunitat of Catalonia. -
Torribera Mental Health Clinic
Rafael Masó i Valentí, Josep Maria Pericas i Morros
These are detached pavilions with a rectangular ground floor and a geometric garden. The façades are dominated by plastered and painted surfaces on natural and rustic stone plinths. The openings are horizontal. The porches on the south façade are supported by concrete pillars with neoclassical ornamental elements. The roofs are pitched with four slopes of Arabic tile with a perpendicular body with two slopes. These buildings form part of the set of pavilions of the mental clinic which won the competition promoted by the Mancomunitat de Catalunya. Both the layout inside the complex and the formal and ornamental language of the pavilions are faithful to the original project of 1917. These pavilions housed psychiatric patients. The Montserrat pavilion is to be adapted as an Environmental Interpretation Centre. The Canigó pavilion was formerly known as the Inmaculada pavilion. -
Pavilion of the Torribera Convent and Church
Rafael Masó i Valentí, Josep Maria Pericas i Morros
Building with an elongated, varied and complex plan that adapts to the contours, which is resolved through axes of symmetry and recessed bodies that create a game of volumes. The building consists of a chapel with a tower and a general service pavilion, connected by an open body on the ground floor that acts as a bridge. The façades are plastered and painted stone walls on rustic stone plinths. In the openings, semi-circular arched windows with woodwork and ornamental elements predominate. The central body that connects the chapel and the pavilion works as a point with three large openings: a large central arch that allows the passage of vehicles and two lateral ones for pedestrians. The volumetric complexity of the building is translated into a set of sloping roofs of flat glazed tiles with small eaves. The chapel bell tower is crowned by a pinnacle with an octagonal base. The old convent pavilion housed the convent residence of the nuns who administered the psychiatric centre and is joined by a bridge that forms a porch to the main access to the chapel of the Torribera complex. This building, with a formal and ornamental Noucentista language, is part of the group of pavilions that won the competition for the Mental Clinic in 1917. The church building and convent pavilion is in a neo-Romanesque style with two apses and a central apse with an ambulatory where the body of the sacristy is added. -
