He began studying architecture in Barcelona in 1895 and qualified in 1903. His architectural production forms part of the new Noucentista ("1900-ist", a term coined in 1906 to refer to 20th century Catalan culture) aesthetic current, but it seems that immediately after graduating he worked closely with L. Domènech i Montaner on the Palau de la Música Catalana (1905-1908; Palau de la Música, 4-6), the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (1902-1930; Sant Antoni Maria Claret, 167) and the Pere Mata Psychiatric Institute (1898-1922; Passeig Briansó, s/n, Reus).

For 25 years he taught at the Barcelona School of Architecture, first as a lecturer and then as a professor. At the same time, he was the municipal architect of Arenys de Munt for 20 years and constructed many buildings in Girona, such as the Regàs distileries (1907; Pont Major, 61-73, Girona; now Centre Cívic Pont Major). In Barcelona he worked in collaboration with other architects on the Palau Nacional for the 1929 International Exhibition (currently the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, MNAC) and with Adolf Florensa on Casal del Metge (1929; Via Laietana, 30). The Nordbeck chemist's shop (1905; Ausiàs Marc, 32) is attributed to him.
