His designs from about 1903, the ""Casa Batlló"" (1904–1906) and ""Casa Milà"" (1906–1908), are most closely related to the stylistic elements of Art Nouveau. However, famous structures such as the ""Sagrada Família"" characteristically contrast the modernising Art Nouveau tendencies with revivalist Neo-Gothic.
