Biography
Biography
Gaudí met Sugrañes in 1905 during his last year at the school of architecture. Since then, he participated in most of Gaudí's works. In collaboration with Gaudí, Sugrañes decorated the Bellesguard house with seating banks in mosaic (1917). He made the house of Hermenegild Miralles i Anglès, of which Gaudí made only gateway to the property. He also collaborated in the Casa Batlló and Casa Milà. Sugrañes became close with Gaudí to the extent that the latter established him as his testamentary executor.
