 Built In-1906-1912

 Location- Barcelona, Spain

It doesn't say how much it cost to build.

It was built for a married couple who were very wealthy.

I chose this building because I have never heard of it. I was interested to see what it looked like, and why someone decided to build it. Another reason is because Barcelona is a very pretty city, so I expected to see a very good or interesting building.

People live in the houses so you can't go in, but people often look at them outside so the residents are disturbed a lot.

It was built for people to live in, not necessarily for tourists.

I chose these buildings because when I saw cube houses I knew I wanted to see what it was. Also I wanted to see if people lived in these houses or if they had just become tourist attractions. I'm glad I decided to look at this houses, because they sure are very interesting.
