He trained at the Barcelona School of Architecture from where he qualified as an architect in 1909. At the start of his career he worked with A. Gaudí on La Pedrera (1906-1910; Passeig de Gràcia, 92 - Provença, 261-265).

In 1909 he went to live in Melilla, where he did all his work - over 500 projects in all. He is regarded as having introduced the Modernista idiom to Melilla. His style was clearly related to Art Nouveau, especially in the early period, to which belong buildings such as the offices of the newspaper El Telegrama del Rif (1912; Ejército Español, 16 - Cándido Lobera, 6), the building of the department store La Reconquista (1915; Plaza Menéndez Pelayo, s/n) and the Chamber of Commerce (1913; Cervantes, 7).

After having applied several times for the job as Melilla's municipal architect, he eventually got the post in 1931 and held it until 1948. During this period he worked mainly on new infrastructures for the town.

As time went on he evolved towards new trends such as Noucentisme ("1900-ism", a term coined in 1906 to refer to 20th century Catalan culture), Secessionstil and Art Deco.
