Having trained at the Barcelona School of Architecture, once he had qualified he started work with the architect J. Amargós and collaborated in the urbanisation of Parc de la Ciutadella for the 1888 Barcelona Universal Exhibition. Although he had settled in Barcelona, in 1889 he obtained the post of municipal architect in Figueres, which is where almost all his work was done.

His architecture comprises the Modernista tendency of incorporating Gothic elements within a style based on popular Catalan architecture and, in general, using very little ornamentation.

He also designed buildings for social purposes - such as schools and co-operatives - which were simple, but effective for everyday use, and industrial buildings, of which Casa Cusí (1894; Rambla, 20, Figueres) is a prime example. His work in Barcelona is concentrated mainly in the Sant Gervasi neighbourhood and includes Vil·la Florida (1904; Muntaner, 540-548 - Bisbe Sivilla, 2-20).
