1917 – Edificio de la Caja de Pensiones de Barcelona, Spain

Built as offices for La Caixa de Pensions, now CaixaBank. The Casal del Ahorro (together with the adjacent building, the Casal de la Previsión, built a few years later by the same architect) is one of many banks built by the architect for the same client across Catalonia Designed in a picturesque neo-Gothic, many oof the elements used here, such as the scabbled stone ornamentation, were used across the branch network, creating a corporate image of solidity.
