Ca l'Ordal: A 1894 housing building in Colonia Güell

Ca l'Ordal, located in Colonia Güell, Santa Coloma de Cervelló (Baix Llobregat), is a building featured in the Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya. First projected in 1894 by Francesc Berenguer i Mestres with collaboration from Joan Rubió i Bellver, the housing building showcases a distinctive architectural fusion.

Its symmetrical structure, with a garden in the subterranean ground floor at the front, is a striking feature. An addition from the same period, but subsequent to the initial project, was added to its right side.

The building is constructed from conglomerate stone, with rounded corners, and features three original and detailed chimneys. It showcases a historicist aesthetic, with its structure resembling a plant basilical masia and a roof with two slopes. The back part of the building is constructed with various levels and bodies, with a specific style of Romanesque church.
