Located: Building in Barcelona, Spain

I couldn't find how much it costed to build it.

It is known in history because of it's unusual architecture.

I chose this building because it was the first building on the list. The building has an interesting history as well as the architect. It was designed for a couple who wanted to live on the main floor and rent the rest of the rooms out as apartments.
