Located in the Barceloneta Quarter, just in front of the Port Vell and at two blocks from the Catalunya History Museum, this building is considered as the reestablish Modernist principles in Barcelona in the difficult post-war years.

This small tower, built in a corner, follow the typology of long narrow blocks in the Barceloneta Quarter. It was built as publicly financed housing for fisherman, with a shop on the ground floor and small apartments on the higher floors.

As reaction to the normal rectangular block, the architects created an irregular plan. The use of a floor-to ceiling wood louver system on the façade, disguises the stepped form of the perimeter balconies and windows.
