Masia Freixa, Terrassa

Masia Freixa was also designed by the architect Lluis Muncunill in 1907/10 and shows clear influnces of Antoni Gaudi in it's organic shapes.

Commissioned by the industrialist Josep Freixa to convert an industrial space into a private residence it is now set in a public park and the building itself is used by the municipal music school.
It is extraordinarily interesting visually which shows the great imagination the Modernists used to create buildings which still surprise and give us pleasure many years later.
