Situated at Carrer Francesc Gumà Ferran 2, Casa de les Punxes is a residential and industrial ensemble in the municipality of Valls. The building consists of a house and a factory. The house has a ground floor and three upper floors with an irregular structure. The central body has modified ground floor doors, while the first floor features three balconies with sliding doors and floral modernist ornamentation. On the left, a square protrusion provides a small terrace at the height of the first floor. On the right, a circular tower with medieval inspiration stands with a conical roof of green ceramics.
The construction is made of plastered and painted brick, featuring small decorative details in ceramic and brick. The building and its annex factory originally belonged to the Galimany insecticide products company. Currently, the property is owned by a Belgian company that manufactures refractory goods for the international market. The factory offices are located within the house.
